MacAskill does justice to Tai Chi

IT is not his usual gig, but Scotland’s justice secretary took time out from his brief to celebrate 30 years of the International Taoist Tai Chi Society yesterday.

Kenny MacAskill was put through his paces by local enthusiasts of the practice just outside his office at the Scottish Parliament.

It served as a warm-up for the organisation’s International Workshop, which takes place this weekend at Trinity Academy. It was due to start at 10am today and finishes at 4pm tomorrow.
