It's polling day! 🗳️ The 2026 Scottish election campaign has finally come to a close. Apparently, I didn't take many pictures while I've been out and about, but it has been busy, and the team at The National is preparing for a hectic weekend.

We'll have a live blog, live tracker with graphs (and maps, by me!), five reporters at counts in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Greenock and Dunfermline and all the results as we get them.

Reform has questioned my loyalty to my country. Their candidate said my children should be deported. I want absolutely nothing to do with them and John Swinney should be ashamed of himself for trying to pretend otherwise.
