Nicola Sturgeon has suggested a deal with the Greens could be the way forward in Edinburgh if the SNP are returned as the largest party following this week's council election.
The First Minister said her party and Labour have "worked well" together to run Edinburgh City Council over the last term and called Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar's move to reject a future coalition "almost inexplicable" whilst on a campaign visit to Portobello Beach on Sunday (May 1).
Joined by the capital's SNP candidates including group leader Adam McVey, Ms Sturgeon took a walk along the promenade, stopping to chat and take selfies with locals in a final push for votes before the polls open on Thursday.
