The fight for "Scots votes for Scots laws" has been taken to Westminster as the SNP called on the Government to hand over more power on devolution to Scotland.
Angus MacNeil used a Ten Minute Rule Motion in the House of Commons to launch a bid to get more decision-making powers for the country.
He set out a plan to amend the Scotland Act 1998 to establish a mechanism by which the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and a majority of members representing Scottish constituencies may jointly determine further powers to be devolved to Scotland.
He told MPs: "This House has decided there is a need for English votes for English laws - Evel - and now, to keep modernising the House of Commons, where the SNP are always keen to play a constructive role, but more importantly to put Scotland first, it is now time to have Scots votes for Scots laws."
The SNP MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar said "Westminster has failed Scotland" on the issue of devolution.
"It is time to move to a point beyond where the crumbs are promised from the table or we plead for crumbs from the table instead to where we are given the keys to the larder, to where Scotland's powers have been deposited since 1707," he said.
"So that in line with the Prime Minister's words, Scotland can choose to take the powers, fulfilling the PM's solemn promise broadcast to Scotland just eight days before the referendum: All options of devolution are there and all are possible.
"This was the premise on which the Scottish people voted for the other option to 'Yes'.
"It was not a 'No' vote because remember, by the time of the vote the 'Three Amigos' as they were dubbed in Scotland, galloped from this chamber to Scotland and the referendum was between 'Yes' and 'lots of powers' - even a vow thrown in and/or as close to federalism as possible."
Mr MacNeil said his plan would allow "Scotland to move forward as the Scottish society sees fit" and free it from the "ball and chain of continued Westminster failure".
His Ten Minute Rule Motion was adopted by the House without opposition and will now progress to its second reading.
However, without the support of the Government it is unlikely to ever become law.
