It's not yet been 48 hours since news broke that Alex Salmond had died, so perhaps we're still in that period of eulogisation. And I'm not here to cast aspersions on Alex Salmond the man, to deny his impact on Scottish public life or his undoubted skill as a political operator. So I'll take the risk of an online battering by pointing out that Alex Salmond's political career ended in abject failure. The independence referendum has been hailed as Salmond's crowning achievement. So what is the Alex Salmond legacy?
