OPPOSITION parties claim Alex Salmond left a legacy of failure and division after he departed the Holyrood debating chamber following his final First Minister's Questions.
Scottish Labour issued a 30-page dossier cataloguing missed government targets, broken promises and gaffes during Mr Salmond's seven years in office. The list included a fall in the number of teachers, cuts to hospital beds and rising child poverty.
Labour also criticised the Scottish Government for scrapping the proposed Glasgow Airport Rail Link project and failing to upgrade the A9 as promised.
Stand-in Labour leader Jackie Baillie said: "His legacy as First Minister will be his failure to use the powers at his disposal to make Scotland a better place."
The Scots Tories claimed the First Minister would be remembered for his taste for the high life.
The party compiled figures showing, among other things, he made 3,433 journeys in chauffeur-driven government cars during his time as First Minister.
Mr Salmond has also spent £3,463 on rail travel within the UK, and over £21,000 on domestic air travel between June 2007 and October 2013.
A further £120,000 has been spent on foreign trips, the Tories said.
The party also highlighted spending of almost £500,000 on a Scottish Government trip to the US in 2012 for the Ryder Cup, £360,000 for a 2013 US trip during Scotland Week, and leading a delegation to the Brave film premiere in Los Angeles at a cost of £42,000.
Tory deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said: "There is no doubt that our esteemed First Minister has generously taken advantage of the trappings of power during the past seven years.
"Whether it has been from the comfort of his ministerial limo or enjoying five-star luxury jetting around the world, he has never been backward in spending taxpayers' cash.
Mr Salmond's salary ministerial and MSP salary is set, administered and paid by the Scottish Parliament. He will be entitled to a ministerial pension, and will receive MSP and MP pensions subject to contributions to those schemes.
In his 215th and final appearance at First Minister's Questions, Mr Salmond said his government had a record of "substantial achievements".
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "Arrangements in respect of the outgoing First Minister will be set out when he demits office."
