SNP transport minister Jenny Gilruth and former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale have married at a ceremony in Fife.

The wedding took place at the Teasses Estate in Ceres on Saturday.

Ms Gilruth worked as a teacher before being elected to the Scottish Parliament in May 2016.

SNP MP Mhairi Black also tied the knot over the weekend.

The 27-year-old married her partner, Katie, in Glasgow.
