Christina Hendry says book tarnishes uncle’s reputation and he would have defended himself if alive

Alex Salmond’s niece has accused Nicola Sturgeon of tarnishing her uncle’s reputation when he is no longer able to defend himself in order to promote her memoir.
Christina Hendry told BBC Radio Scotland on Monday: “If my uncle was here today, these things would not be being said. I believe they’re being said because he’s not here to defend himself, as he would have done with every fibre of his being.”
Sturgeon’s political partnership with her predecessor as first minister, who died suddenly of a heart attack last October at the age of 69, dominates her memoir, Frankly, which was published last week.
