James Dornan (born 17 March 1953) is a SNP Member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow Cathcart.
He was elected in the 2011 Parliamentary elections, having previously contested the Ayr Constituency in the 2003 Scottish Parliament elections and the Glasgow South-West Constituency in the 2005 UK general election before his election in 2011. He was also selected to be the SNP candidate in the 2009 Glasgow North East by-election, but decided to step aside following newspaper reports over his finances.
He represented the Langside Ward in Glasgow City Council from 3 May 2007 until 3 May 2012 and was the SNP group leader on Glasgow City Council until June 2011, when he was succeeded by Councillor Allison Hunter.
Dornan joined the Scottish National Party in 1996 and previously worked for Stewart Maxwell (MSP).
In 2012, Dornan was appointed as a SNP Deputy Whip.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) (Scottish Gaelic: Pàrtaidh Nàiseanta na h-Alba, Scots: Scots Naitional Pairtie) is a Scottish nationalist and social-democratic political party in Scotland. The SNP supports and campaigns for Scottish independence. It is the third-largest political party by membership in the United Kingdom, as well as by overall representation in the House of Commons, behind the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, and is the largest party in Scotland, where it dominates both the Scottish Parliament and the country's parliamentary delegation to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Its leader, Nicola Sturgeon, is the current First Minister of Scotland.
Founded in 1934 with the merger of the National Party of Scotland and the Scottish Party, the party has had continuous parliamentary representation since Winnie Ewing won the 1967 Hamilton by-election. With the advent of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, the SNP became the second largest party, serving two terms as the opposition. The SNP came to power in the 2007 Scottish general election, forming a minority government, before going on to win the 2011 election, after which it formed Scotland's first majority government.

I am absolutely delighted to have been sworn in as the SNP MSP for the Highlands and Islands at the Scottish Parliament this morning, and to be one of the few who took the oath Gaelic. I look forward to working with all MSPs across the political divide over the next parliamentary term to deliver for the Highlands and Islands region. "I, Maree Todd, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, Her Heirs and Successors, according to Law. So help me God." I will continue to champion the Gaelic language, although not a speaker myself, I think it is vital that the language continues to be used in everyday life including in our parliament. My mum is a native speaker and can't be here today because of family illness. Taking the Gaelic oath is a way...
