Episode description
Nicola Sturgeon has resigned as Scotland's first minister after more than eight years in the role.
The leader of the Scottish National Party told a news conference that it is right "for me, for my party and the country" and insisted it was not a reaction to "short term pressures".
She said she will remain in office until a successor is found.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to our Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies who was at the news conference. Plus, commentators Shona Craven, from The National, and Euan McColm from The Scotsman, on Ms Sturgeon's legacy and what is the future for independence.
