IT’S now an annual treat at Holyrood – once again Scotland’s politicians are wearing it pink!
Today saw party leaders and MSPs take part in photoshoots all dressed up to promote Breast Cancer Now’s annual Wear It Pink event.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Labour’s interim leader Alex Rowley both took part, as well as Tory leader Ruth Davidson, the Green’s co-convener Patrick Harvie and Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie.
Other MSPs including transport minister Humza Yousaf and former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale also got in on the action.
