Can't believe this statement is from an @theSNP minister. That the party of Winnie Ewing, Jim Sillars & Alex Salmond has become so cowed on its central mission is a tragedy.

@omdygon That is not the family name. It was changed to Windsor more than a century ago. And they’re Stuarts by direct lineage. Unlike Alex Salmond I am not a monarchist. But if you’re a monarchist, should there be a Scottish coronation?

@andrewlearmonth Alex Salmond was First Minister when the current Scottish Government policy on trans prisoners was introduced. One of his party’s two MPs was Cabinet Secretary for Justice.

When Alex Salmond resigned the SNP’s opponents said the SNP was finished. Just saying.

Trans debacle is the end of the line for Nicola Sturgeon "The Sturgeon pseudo-magic was partly a hangover from the genuine charisma of Alex Salmond who...brought the SNP from a taxi-load of Westminster MPs to majority government at Holyrood" #Invalid https://t.co/jFBuRSGT7C

Whatever you think of the Tory Leadership election, and I don’t think it’s a model of democracy, it’s better than being annointed by Alex Salmond

@JDWilliams92 These are not "leaders" but 2 MPs who left the party they were elected for to join "Alba", run by Alex Salmond. This stunt was an attention seeking tactic and, like at any school, such childish behaviour saw them sent out by The Speaker and suspended.

I remember it well. Alex Salmond got his budget & legislation through every year from 2007-2011. I was there! So much for “Honest John”! https://t.co/Itbc5BS5U9

@CathyMcRorie This ‘trying to jail Alex Salmond’ rubbish is another reason there can never be any reconciliation between the 1% Albists & the SNP. How you can still go along with this nonsensical conspiracy theory is beyond absurd. The SNP also just won the biggest vote ever in a SP election

This is so funny. Their massive 1%, Alex Salmond, their weird obsessions and pathological hatred of the SNP will continue to ensure that they remain confined to ranting on Twitter. https://t.co/5rH0EWCihv

@Stuart_Hood Yup. A weird belief that Nicola Sturgeon is not for Indy, a hankering for a return of Alex Salmond, a desire to attack the SNP more than the Daily Mail, weird obsessions, I can go on. The public find it simply absurd.

I see Alba Twitter having a mild fit over this. Here’s what Alex Salmond said at the Brookings Institute, 2013: ‘An independent Scotland would also seek to be an active member of other multinational organizations and multilateral organizations’ https://t.co/W8UBXzpCGS https://t.co/Soi3Zb4eTa

Question

To ask the Scottish Government, in light if the reported commitment made by Alex Salmond in 2006 that if he were to become Scotland's First Minister in 2007 the first decision he would make, within 100 days, would be to dual the road between Ellon and Peterhead, whether it still plans to dual this section of the A90, and, if this is not the case, when it formally decided not to proceed with this commitment in the north east.

Answered by Gilruth, Jenny - Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills

I am not appraised of the quote in question and nor are my officials in Transport Scotland.
