‘Homecoming’ appearance for newborn son of MSP and his wife

With his father’s background, it was only right that Archie Scott should make his first “homecoming” public appearance at the Cunningsburgh Show. The 10-day-old son of isles MSP Tavish Scott and his wife Kirsten, he duly did so on Wednesday – and slept for most of it!

Mr Scott said: “It’s good to be at the Cunningsburgh show, the Shetland air seems to be agreeing with him. We came off the boat yesterday morning and we’re here for a few weeks before parliament starts again; then it’ll be getting used to travelling up and down again.”
