Alex Salmond was met by his family and a piper when the plane carrying his body landed in Aberdeen.

The former first minister’s family, including his wife, Moira, and acting Alba Party leader, Kenny MacAskill, greeted the coffin as a piper played Freedom Come All Ye.

Funeral directors placed his coffin, which was draped in a Saltire, into a hearse after he arrived at Aberdeen Airport just before 2pm on Friday.
