An unusual salon....

There is often a photo opportunity for charity after FMQs , usually featuring the party leaders on the steps up to the chamber from the Garden Lobby  with MSPs crammed in behind them.

Today however there was something different.   Kirkcaldy MSP David Torrance who has been growing his hair for some considerable time, had it cut off to raise money for the Maggie's Centre in Fife and the first cut was done by , appropriately enough, the First Minister.

So there was quite a scrum in the Parliament's Garden Lobby at lunchtime as the media - and lots of other people - tried to get a picture of this unique occasion .
