In 1989 Fairlie was selected to stand again in Perth and Kinross, but he resigned from the SNP in 1990, objecting to its "Independence in Europe" slogan and support for the European Community. In the 2000s, he joined the Free Scotland Party, acting as its Media Liaison Officer. He stood unsuccessfully for the party in Perth at the 2007 Scottish Parliament election. His son, also named Jim, was elected as an MSP at the 2021 Scottish Parliament election; another son Andrew (died 2019) was a renowned chef. On 3 August 2021, The Herald announced that Fairlie had joined Restore Scotland (now Sovereignty). (en)
