The SNP has claimed a “historic” victory in Scotland but might not have gained enough seats to form a majority government.
A resurgent Conservative Party in Scotland is expected to come in at second place, with Labour falling to third in the election race.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: “The SNP has tonight won an historic third term as Scotland’s government. I pledge to be First Minister for all of Scotland.”
However, it is thought she might have to do a deal with another party to form a minority administration.
