Former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond dies aged 69

Alex Salmond served as First Minister from 2007 to 2014, overseeing Scotland’s historic independence referendum.

His political career, spanning over 30 years, ended amid controversy following sexual assault allegations, though he was cleared of all charges in 2020.

Salmond's final political chapter saw him launch the Alba Party, though it failed to gain serious traction.
