Nicola Sturgeon: Scotland's first minister whose independence dreams were never realised
Nicola Sturgeon's resignation was a surprise to many in politics - but the events that have unfolded since she left office have come as even more of a shock.
That arrest was the first as part of Operation Branchform, which has been investigating how more than £600,000 in donations to the party earmarked for an independence referendum have been used. Top news stories today Ms Sturgeon, who joined the SNP at the age of 16, became first minister in November 2014 after predecessor Alex Salmond stood down in the aftermath of the independence referendum that year - which saw Scots vote by 55% to 45% to stay part of the UK.
Her time in the top job saw Glasgow host the Cop26 UN summit, insisting that the agreement reached there represented "progress" in tackling the issue. She spoke then of the "brutality" of life as a politician, as she insisted the "time is now" for her to go.
