Donald Trump’s election as US President may result in some awkward moments for Scottish politicians who have made critical remarks about him in the past.
Here are some of the things they have said:
Nicola Sturgeon
In October 2016, reacting to a tape of Mr Trump discussing women, the First Minister reportedly said on Sky News’ Murnaghan programme: “I’m horrified not just by the comments he has made or in some cases the things he’s reportedly done, but also the dismissal of that kind of language and those kind of attitudes as just ‘locker room banter’.
“That is really misogyny at its worst and I think we’ve all got to stand up against that.”
Earlier in the day she was reported as telling ITV: “I hope Donald Trump doesn’t become president of the United States and I expect the people of the United States will have the good sense not to elect him.”
Alex Salmond
In September the former First Minister said of Trump in his Daily Record column: “Emotionally he is a Peter Pan – the boy who never grew up.”
He also went on to say: “There are only a few who want to risk a manchild in the White House.”
He has also been reported to have said a Trump win would be the biggest low point since America’s involved in the Vietnam War.
Kezia Dugdale
On the eve of the election Kezia, who has said she joined the campaign for the Democratic candidate and said she tried to combat Mr Trump’s “poison”, said: “This is a man that is fuelling racism and xenophobia across America, and the idea that he could be president in less than 48 hours scares me to my absolute core.”
Ruth Davidson
Ruth Davidson took a different route with her criticism. She turned to Shakespeare with this tweet towards the end of last year.
So, twitter, we’re all agreed? Trump’s a clay-brained guts, knotty-pated fool, whoreson obscene greasy tallow-catch, right?

Patrick Harvie
And just this morning Patrick Harvie turned to social media to share his feelings about the new President-elect.
Almost as dismal as the result are the people now seeking to normalise Trump. He is what he always was; a delusional, racist, sexist bully.
