Humza Yousaf has been sworn in as the First Minister of Scotland at the Court of Session, and he will now start appointing his Cabinet.
He won the SNP leadership election on Monday, was elected First Minister by MSPs on Tuesday, and the administering of the three oaths of office at the court on Wednesday made his appointment official.
In the customary ceremony at the highest court in Scotland, Mr Yousaf pledged his allegiance to the King, as well as to serve him in the role as First Minister and Keeper of the Seal of Scotland.
