Images

At any party conference there are endless opportunities to catch images of the extraordinary tapestry of political life.

It was a hard choice therefore to select my blip for today , which was the first day of our Spring Conference .

My main picture is of the First Minister agreeing to the last of dozens of selfie requests before the afternoon session got underway .

My extra picture is of the very imaginative use of the stairs in the Edinburgh International Conference Centre to remind delegates of some of the many achievements of the 12 years of SNP Government in Scotland
