The RAF has refused to repatriate Alex Salmond’s body from North Macedonia, causing John Swinney to pay for a chattered flight back to Scotland.
On Saturday, the former First Minister passed away at the age of 69 after delivering a speech in North Macedonia at around 3.30pm (local time).
The UK and Scottish Governments had been in talks about the return of the former First Minister’s body.
