About Alex Salmond

Alexander Elliot Anderson Salmond (31 December 1954 – 12 October 2024) was a Scottish politician who served as the fourth First Minister of Scotland from 17 May 2007 to 18 November 2014. He was a former member of both the Scottish and Westminster parliaments. Salmond was leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) for two terms, firstly from 1990 to 2000 and later from 2004 to 2014. A feud with his successor as first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, and his arrest for sexual offences (he was acquitted in the eventual trial) led to Salmond leaving the SNP. From 2021, he was leader of the Alba Party.
