Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - The final curtain. 3,046 days as First Minister draw to a close. It has been a privilege. Looking forward to the next phase...šŸ“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ
Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - Leaving Bute House for the final time this morning. 
By this evening, @humzayousaf will be in residence as Scotland’s 6th First Minister. I couldn't be prouder of him and wish him all the love and luck in the world.
Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died.
Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches.
Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place.
A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives.
The photos on this post are from an @ayewriteglasgow event we did together last year - it was a special night.
I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today.
I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ā¤ļø

Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - šŸš— So this happened today - at the tender age of 53, I passed my driving test (first time!!).
I couldn’t have done it without my brilliant instructor, Andy MacFarlane of Caledonian Learner Driver Training. It was really important to me, as a 53 year old former FM, not just to have an excellent teacher but someone I could trust and feel comfortable with - Andy was all of that and more!
The whole experience has taken me well out of any notion of a comfort zone, but hopefully proves that it’s never too late in life to do something new. šŸŽ‰šŸš—

Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - Being one of the original 1999 Members of the Scottish Parliament, serving (by the time of the election) for 27 years - almost exactly half my life - and getting to represent Glasgow Southside, the best constituency in Scotland, has been an honour beyond words. 

However, I have known in my heart for a while that the time is right for me to embrace different opportunities in a new chapter of my life. I have therefore written this morning to SNP members in my constituency informing them that I will not be seeking selection for next year’s Holyrood election.

To my constituents, past and present: thank you for the trust you have placed in me. Being your MSP has been my privilege and I will continue to represent you to the best of my abilities until I step down next year.

To Southside SNP members: your support, loyalty and friendship, through thick and thin, has meant more to me than you will ever know. You are the best of the best. 

To SNP members across the country: I may be leaving Parliament, but I will be by your side every step of the way as we complete our journey to independence.

Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - A lovely Sunday evening walk along Troon beach to Prestwick. The fish supper afterwards from the Wee Hurrie at Troon harbour may have neutralized the health benefits - but it was delicious. Thoroughly recommended.

Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - As the clock counts down on #GE24, I'm sending lots of luck and love to my @thesnp friends across the country. 

This is the first general election since 2001 that I've not been leader or deputy leader of the SNP  and first since 1987 that I've not been pounding the streets on polling day - so a strange experience.

All that said, I could have probably done without the reminder of my first ever election leaflet (sent to me by a ā€˜friend’ 🤣) 😱
Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - I seem to have cut @suranne_jones head off in my last pic - which is a good excuse to post it again!
Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - Four seasons in one day on my walk earlier - but a good reminder of how good walking is for physical and mental health…and how, even in the city, there are gorgeous places to go.

Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - Today was a very different SNP conference experience to the one I’ve been used to for many years…but it was so lovely to see so many old friends and to feel the love of what is and always will be my extended family (even if I couldn’t escape a media scrum in the process). My heart will always belong to @thesnpšŸ’›šŸ’›šŸ’›

Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - šŸ’” My wonderful Uncle Iain known to many in the journalist world, passed away overnight.
Iain was the editor of several Ayrshire papers in his younger days. He was later assistant editor at both the Daily Record & Sunday Mail and latterly head of PR at Ayr Racecourse. He also hosted a sports programme on West Sound radio.
I hero-worshipped Iain when I was a wee girl and have looked up to him all my life. He and I shared a love of books and constantly texted each other recommendations. I will miss him so much. 
My love to Elaine, Emma, Lorna, his beloved grandkids, my mum and Uncle Scott.

Nicola Sturgeon Instagram - Very excited to be doing this. I've always had an ambition to write.
It is slightly bitter sweet today, though, as I head to the funeral of my uncle, the journalist Iain Ferguson. This is something that I always hoped we might work together on some day. 
Instead, it will be a book I dedicate to him

She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives. The photos on this post are from an @ayewriteglasgow event we did together last year – it was a special night. I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends – they are in my thoughts today. I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went – with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ā¤ļø

Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches.

Nicola Sturgeon - 22.9K Likes - šŸš— So this happened today - at the tender age of 53, I passed my driving test (first time!!).
I couldn’t have done it without my brilliant instructor, Andy MacFarlane of Caledonian Learner Driver Training. It was really important to me, as a 53 year old former FM, not just to have an excellent teacher but someone I could trust and feel comfortable with - Andy was all of that and more!
The whole experience has taken me well out of any notion of a comfort zone, but hopefully proves that it’s never too late in life to do something new. šŸŽ‰šŸš—

Nicola Sturgeon - 12.1K Likes - Being one of the original 1999 Members of the Scottish Parliament, serving (by the time of the election) for 27 years - almost exactly half my life - and getting to represent Glasgow Southside, the best constituency in Scotland, has been an honour beyond words. 

However, I have known in my heart for a while that the time is right for me to embrace different opportunities in a new chapter of my life. I have therefore written this morning to SNP members in my constituency informing them that I will not be seeking selection for next year’s Holyrood election.

To my constituents, past and present: thank you for the trust you have placed in me. Being your MSP has been my privilege and I will continue to represent you to the best of my abilities until I step down next year.

To Southside SNP members: your support, loyalty and friendship, through thick and thin, has meant more to me than you will ever know. You are the best of the best. 

To SNP members across the country: I may be leaving Parliament, but I will be by your side every step of the way as we complete our journey to independence.

Nicola Sturgeon - 10.2K Likes - As the clock counts down on #GE24, I'm sending lots of luck and love to my @thesnp friends across the country. 

This is the first general election since 2001 that I've not been leader or deputy leader of the SNP  and first since 1987 that I've not been pounding the streets on polling day - so a strange experience.

All that said, I could have probably done without the reminder of my first ever election leaflet (sent to me by a ā€˜friend’ 🤣) 😱

Nicola Sturgeon - 6.3K Likes - šŸ’” My wonderful Uncle Iain known to many in the journalist world, passed away overnight.
Iain was the editor of several Ayrshire papers in his younger days. He was later assistant editor at both the Daily Record & Sunday Mail and latterly head of PR at Ayr Racecourse. He also hosted a sports programme on West Sound radio.
I hero-worshipped Iain when I was a wee girl and have looked up to him all my life. He and I shared a love of books and constantly texted each other recommendations. I will miss him so much. 
My love to Elaine, Emma, Lorna, his beloved grandkids, my mum and Uncle Scott.

Nicola Sturgeon - 5.5K Likes - Very excited to be doing this. I've always had an ambition to write.
It is slightly bitter sweet today, though, as I head to the funeral of my uncle, the journalist Iain Ferguson. This is something that I always hoped we might work together on some day. 
Instead, it will be a book I dedicate to him

This is what the first draft of my book looks like. Writing it has been hard work but also hugely enjoyable and very cathartic. Looking forward to the next stage of the process - wrestling it into shape.
