Join Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver for a Holyrood Sources podcast special. We’re bringing together guests who have been at the heart of the story of devolution over the last 25 years to reflect on how devolution happened, what’s happened since and what should happen next. As part of the night, we’ll reveal the results of exclusive polling assessing how people across Scotland view devolution, 25 years since the establishment of The Scottish Parliament.

In part two:

Alex Salmond,

Susan Deacon,

Liz Smith,

He speaks to the New Statesman's deputy political editor Rachel Wearmouth about how the deal came together, how it has fared since 1998, and the likelihood today of an Irish unification referendum.
