Winifred Margaret Ewing (née Woodburn; born 10 July 1929) is a Scottish nationalist, lawyer and prominent Scottish National Party (SNP) politician who was a Member of Parliament (Hamilton 1967–70; Moray and Nairn 1974–79), Member of the European Parliament (Highlands and Islands 1975–99) and Member of the Scottish Parliament (Highlands and Islands 1999–2003). Her election victory in 1967 was a significant by-election in Scottish political history and began a surge of support for the SNP. She is known for saying "stop the world, Scotland wants to get on" when elected to UK parliament in 1967, and at the European Parliament was named Madame Écosse ('Mrs Scotland'). Ewing was the Scottish National Party President from 1987 to 2005.
