Michael Ancram, the former deputy leader of the Conservative party and 13th Marquis of Lothian, has died at the age of 79 after a short illness.
His political journey began in 1974 when he was first elected to parliament, later leading key roles in the Northern Ireland peace process as minister of state.
Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay referred to Ancram as 'a first-rate politician and a gentleman,' reflecting on his significant contributions throughout his political career.
Ancram's political career included ministerial roles at the Scotland and Northern Ireland offices, with notable involvement in negotiations with the IRA during the peace process.
