After years of popularity and electoral success, several problems emerged in the last few months of Nicola Sturgeon's tenure as First Minister.
The SNP has been almost untouchable throughout Sturgeon’s reign - emerging as the largest party in eight different elections under her leadership.
Less than a year after she became First Minister, the Nationalists achieved a landslide result in Scotland at the 2015 General Election, picking up 56 of the 59 seats.
