🏴 First Minister of Scotland, @theSNP Leader, Promoted by John Swinney, Ericht Lane, Blairgowrie, PH10 6AL
- Good morning from Boston. Nice to bump into Ronnie and Linda Coull from Aberdeen, ahead of a busy day of trade, investment, diplomatic, academic and sporting engagements.
- Good luck to Steve Clarke, the men’s team and every fan making the journey - the whole nation is behind you. Delighted to be in Boston to be part of this special occasion. Scotland, let’s make history! 🏴

⛴️@StephenFlynnSNP en route to Berneray aboard the @CalMacFerries MV Loch Portain this morning. Yesterday the Transport Secretary was in Benbecula, meeting local businesses and communities to hear their views on ferry services.
- Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow. This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland. I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴

First Minister @JohnSwinney has backed Scotland fan Craig Ferguson’s 'Tartan Trek' for Scottish Action on Mental Health with a £400,000 boost from @scotgov. Craig is walking across the US to raise funds for the charity ahead of the World Cup. ➡️ gov.scot/news/fm-backs-…
- 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… 🏴
00:00 - Promises made, promises delivered. Aberdeen’s new GP walk-in centre will open on 23 June - the seventh in Scotland, and we will open another four within the first 100 days of this government. We’re making it easier for you to see a GP and ending the 8am rush.
- 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.
- John Swinney repostedFirst Minister @JohnSwinney has confirmed up to £1million will be provided to @ClacksCouncil to support residents in Coalsnaughton. The money will ensure the local authority can cover temporary housing, welfare and staffing costs. Find out more: gov.scot/news/support-f…
