On the evening of Friday May 6th, once the magnitude of the election results started to sink in, an SNP celebration event at Edinburgh’s Jam House was just the job to mingle with MSPs and activists and share the elation from events of the last 24 hours.
The following day (Saturday) a meeting of the SNP National Executive led into the gathering of all 69 SNP MSPs at the Holyrood MacDonald hotel prior to the photo call in front of the Scottish Parliament.
