THE sister of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has shared a heart-warming picture of the siblings' reunion on social media.
Gill Sturgeon revealed the moment she met up with her sister after Covid lockdown restrictions were eased in Glasgow at the weekend.
Posting on Facebook, she shared a selfie of the pair with the caption: "Reunited," with heart emojis.
The moment went viral with hundreds of comments, likes, and shares.
Particia Collum-Friel said: "Aw fab! Your sister is absolutely, utterly amazing!! Hope you all had a wonderful day, so deserved."
Fee McKenzie added: "Beautiful ladies, heck I feel the emotions seeing your wee pic together."
Lynzie Kealey continued: "Great photo. Finally your back together. I was so happy to see my big sister too. I'd be lost without her."
SNP leader Ms Sturgeon had previously been barred from visiting her family in Ayrshire because of lockdown restrictions.
People residing in Glasgow were not allowed to leave the council area for weeks when the city remained in Level 3 as the rest of the country saw restrictions lifted.
Ms Sturgeon - who resides in Glasgow - finally visited her NHS worker sister Gill once level two restrictions came into place. This means Scots can meet indoors in groups of six people from three separate households.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
