Scotland’s former First Minister Alex Salmond has died at the age of 69.
Salmond, who led the country between 2007 and 2014, reportedly took ill while in North Macedonia.
“The sad news of Alex Salmond’s passing today will come as a shock to all who knew him in Scotland, across the U.K. and beyond,” Scottish Labour Party Leader Anas Sarwar said in a tweet Saturday evening.
Salmond formed the pro-independence Alba Party in 2021 after resigning from the SNP.
