Humza Yousaf has appointed his first Cabinet, securing top posts for his supporters.
Senior members of the SNP parliamentary group filed into Bute House on Wednesday to be told which jobs they will be given, just hours after the First Minister was sworn in at the Court of Session.
Deputy First Minister Shona Robison, who was appointed to the deputy role on Tuesday, will also take on the finance portfolio, while Yousaf’s campaign manager in the SNP leadership race, Neil Gray, will be elevated to Cabinet Secretary for the Wellbeing Economy, Fair Work and Energy.
