[First Minister @ScotGovFM]

First Minister @JohnSwinney launched a £500,000 World Cup Fund at Barclays Hampden, to help develop the next generation of football talent across Scotland, delivering on a commitment made for the @scotgov's first 100 days.

We are making progress towards setting up a new National Performing Company for traditional music.

We asked First Minister @JohnSwinney and musicians why traditional music is so important to Scotland.

Watch for more.

[First Minister @ScotGovFM]

First Minister @JohnSwinney has set out plans to create a new National Performing Company for Traditional Music.

Musicians, promoters, venues – tell us what support the sector needs and what this new organisation should prioritise.

I promised to deliver five new GP walk-in centres in our first 100 days, and we have delivered.

I have also announced 24 new locations right across Scotland, to make it easier for you to get seen at a time that works for you.

That's what you get with an SNP government. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Labour promised to lower your energy bills, but it was just confirmed they are rising again - for the seventh time under this UK Labour government.

Enough is enough. It’s Scotland’s energy, and it’s time to put it into Scotland’s hands.

We shouldn’t be surprised, he thinks the “North” stops in the middle of England.

[Broadcasting Scotland @broadcastscot]

The move to our new Stirling studio has presented considerable financial challenges, which is why we have launched an appeal to raise £25,000 to complete the work fitting out our studios and produce more programmes.

Please donate whatever you can afford

Very grateful to Health Secretary @AConstance23 for her visit to Dr Gray’s Hospital today.

Important opportunity to meet frontline staff and discuss issues with paediatric surgeries.

ScotGov message is clear these services must return to Elgin as soon as it is safe to do so.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

This is how we're investing in more opportunities for young football players across Scotland, and why it matters. 👇

Deeply saddened by the news of Dolly Parton’s death.

In Scotland, her Imagination Library inspired a love of reading and provided thousands of free books for children.

Her warmth, generosity and her music were truly one of a kind. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

[The SNP @theSNP]

Did you know? When they ran Glasgow, Labour spent over £2.5m fighting against the equal pay claims of women workers.

Here’s how the SNP fixed Labour’s mess.

I want to thank @BenMacpherson for the excellent contribution he has made to the Scottish Government and to Scotland.

I am sorry to see him leave government but I respect his decision completely and hope he can now take the time and space he needs.

[The SNP @theSNP]

Starting P1 comes with enough costs already. 🎒

From August 2027, every child starting P1 in Scotland will get a free school backpack, with stationery, a water bottle and learning resources inside.

A simple bit of help to make that first day a little easier.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

I’ll never forget the atmosphere of that Scotland-Denmark game at Hampden.

Today I have launched the World Cup Fund to create more opportunities for the next generation of Scottish football talent, some of whom I met today.

One day they could be the stars on that pitch!

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine.

You are fighting not only for your freedom, but for the democratic values we all hold dear.

People in Scotland stand proudly in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Despite being one of the most energy-rich countries in the world, we pay some of the highest energy bills in Europe.

The energy price cap is set to rise again on Wednesday.

This must be a wake up call for the Prime Minister. We need urgent action to lower people’s bills.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

We must all come together to end violence against women and girls.

We need services that are more proactive in supporting victims, a justice system that protects them, and a culture that challenges harmful attitudes.

As First Minister, I will give this my personal leadership.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Enormous privilege to meet families of victims of the Lockerbie attack at the inaugural National Day for Victims and Survivors of Terrorism.

An important day of remembrance and a powerful reminder that we must never allow terrorism to divide us.

[First Minister @ScotGovFM]

"Scotland stands with all those affected by terrorism.”

First Minister @JohnSwinney attended the inaugural event marking the UK’s first National Day for Victims and Survivors of Terrorism in London today.

[Scottish Government @scotgov]

We want people to have easier access to urgent same day care.

GP walk-in services provide more choice for patients while helping to relieve pressure on wider NHS services.

Watch to hear what the service means for local people.
