Legislation that came into force a decade ago allowing same-sex couples in Scotland to marry is among Holyrood’s top five achievements, former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has said.
While she led Scotland at the time the law was introduced, Ms Sturgeon said she does “not claim it as a personal achievement” but instead regards it as a “big part of this Parliament’s legacy”.
Speaking to the PA news agency 10 years after the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act came into effect, Ms Sturgeon said: “It’s something I look back and take pride in.”
