Who is Scotland's leader?

Answer 1

Scotland's political leader, or First Minister, is Alex Salmond of the Scottish National Party, who presides over the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood with an SNP majority of just one seat.

The Head of State is HM The Queen. The political leader of Scotland is the First Minister (since 2007 Alex Salmond). Scotland is part of the UK, of which the political leader is the Prime Minister (since 2010 David Cameron).

However, in 2014, quickly after the loss of the Independence referendum, Salmond stood down as First Minister. Nicola Sturgeon, has filled the position of Fist Minister and is also the first female to ever hold this position.

Answer 2

Scotland has no Prime Minister, since it is part of Great Britain, which is part of the United Kingdom, whose PM is now Mr. Gordon Brown.

If you mean First Minister, as of May 2007 it was Alex Salmond of the SNP, before him it was Jack McConnell of Scottish Labour
