Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay has insisted his party can “get back on the pitch” as he set Conservatives the target of increasing their number of seats at Holyrood in next May’s election.
Mr Findlay said some wanted to “write off” the Tories, but he believed they could win seats from the SNP in the 2026 vote, holding out the potential of even ousting First Minister John Swinney from his Perthshire constituency.
