Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie has held on to his North East Fife seat, doubling his majority in the process.
He described the result as a great honour, adding: “I was born and brought up in North East Fife and to be re-elected as its MSP is such a privilege.
“It’s also a responsibility, to make sure I stick up for them in parliament and do the work locally for them as well.”

Mr Rennie put his success down to his party’s “positive message” throughout the campaign.
“It was about putting recovery first and making sure we cut mental health waiting times – a lot of people struggle with that,” he said.
