The first minister says he "inspired millions of people and of course he also raised millions of pounds for the National Health Service".
"Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and loved ones."
Image source, HoCSNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford pays tribute, too, to Captain Sir Tom Moore.
He says it was wrong for Johnson to visit Scotland last week during a pandemic. He said the PM knew that a plant he was visiting had had an outbreak of Covid -19 just 24 hours earlier. He asks when the PM made the decision to go ahead with the visit.
Johnson says the rollout of the vaccine across the country is a success, and he is prepared to help with the rollout of the vaccine "across the whole of the UK".
Blackford says it is an "absolute shambles" and the PM "can't just explain away this absolutely shocking error of judgement". He says there was a "serious Covid-19 outbreak at this plant" but he still continued to visit the area anyway. He accuses the PM of putting "politics ahead of public health". He says Johnson is "the worst possible leader at the worst possible time".
Johnson says that people of Scotland want to see "the whole country pulling together" and it is "amazing to see Scottish scientists" working on the coronavirus vaccine. He says it is his job to visit all areas of the UK and "no-one is going to stop me".

The first minister will then face questions from opposition leaders about the government's handling of the pandemic, and progress on the vaccine rollout.
