Douglas Ross and his wife Krystle have announced the birth of their second child, a boy named James.
The Scottish Conservative leader said James arrived in the early hours of Wednesday, following an ambulance journey to Aberdeen.
The Moray MP and his wife welcomed their first son Alastair in 2019.
Mr Ross said: “Krystle and I are over the moon to welcome James into the world as a little brother to our son Alistair.
“Our thanks go to the incredible teams at Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin and at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for all their support during the birth.
“Both James and his mother are doing well back home following the excellent care we’ve received over the last couple of days.”
Some added stress with a blue light Ambulance journey through to Aberdeen last night but thanks to the excellent teams at Dr Gray’s in Elgin and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, baby James was born at 1:45am. Both he and mum are doing great. pic.twitter.com/67APHJJfYh
