Alex Salmond’s body is to be brought back to Scotland on Friday, the Alba Party has confirmed.
The former first minister died of a heart attack on Saturday while attending a conference in North Macedonia.
A un-named individual is chartering a plane for the repatriation. The flight is scheduled to arrive at Aberdeen Airport at 13:45.
Members of the family and acting Alba Party leader Kenny MacAskill will greet the coffin on its arrival before the cortege departs to the family home in Strichen.
