Hi All
Alex Salmond announced this afternoon that he will be resigning as First Minister. I don't know the exact time of the announcement.
He also said he would resign as SNP leader at the party's conference in November.
He will stand down as First Minister when the party elects its next leader in a membership ballot.
Nicola Sturgeon, his deputy in both roles is seen as a clear frontrunner to replace him.
Her birth data is 19 Jul 1970. Irvine, North Ayrshire, United Kingdom.
Time: 3.16pm. Asc 7.20 Scorpio
Mr Salmond made his announcement at his official residence in Bute House, Edinburgh,
after the "No" side won Thursday's referendum by 2,001,926 to 1,617,989 for "Yes".
The national split of the vote was 55% for "No" to 45% for "Yes".
