SNP celebrate historic Scottish Parliament victory

Alex Salmond's SNP are celebrating their landmark victory in Thursday's Scottish Parliamentary elections.

The Scottish nationalists took 69 of the 129 seats - the parliament's first working majority. Mr Salmond has called for greater economic powers in Holyrood, under the Scotland Bill, but said a referendum on independence would not take place in the first half of his new five-year term.

The leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, Tavish Scott, has joined the Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray in resigning, following their parties' poor results in the poll.
