ANDY Wightman has confirmed that he will stand as an independent at the next Holyrood election.
The MSP, who quit the Greens at the end of last year, announced on Saturday night that he was moving to Lochaber and would run on the Highland and Island regional list.
He said a focus of his election campaign would be a “Land for the People Bill to reform Scotland’s antiquated land laws and democratise the ownership and use of land and property".
Wightman said Holyrood needed "more independent voices".
He plans on starting a crowdfunder in the next few days before formally launching his campaign.
