- Replying to @JohnSwinney and @scotgovThe Tartan Army are such a wonderful advert for Scotland and I'm proud we have people like Craig representing our country in America as our men’s national team take to the World Cup in almost thirty years. You can donate to the #TartanTrek here:
- Replying to @JohnSwinneyI met Craig before he headed out to the US to begin his trek and I was struck by his tenacity and determination. To mark his achievement, the @scotgov is donating £400,000 to SAMH to fund their vital mental health work, including drop-in The Nook centres.
- Had a quick call with Craig Ferguson, who is now on his last stretch of his epic 3,000 mile walk across the US, to break some important news… 🏴

- The scenes we saw in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr last night are unacceptable. Scotland is a welcoming nation and those who choose to make their lives here are valued members of our communities. Racism, hatred and intimidation have no place in Scotland. We must stand against it.
