Nicola Sturgeon's niece more interested in MP Mhairi Black than her famous aunt
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted an adorable picture of her niece meeting Paisley and Renfrewshire South MP Mhairi Black.
They met at an SNP event last night which saw Nicola Sturgeon formally selected as the party's Holyrood candidate for her Glasgow South seat.
The First Minister said her niece was more interested in seeing Mhairi than her aunt, but took the youngster's preference in good humour.
She tweeted a picture of the pair saying: "Not that I'm jealous, but my wee niece was much more excited to see @MhairiBlack tonight than me"

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
