Kind-hearted residents have crafted a colourful message for Nicola Sturgeon ahead of her 50th birthday celebrations on Sunday.
The artist display was erected outside the First Minister’s official residence at Bute House in Edinburgh this afternoon.
Two purple signs wishing the SNP leader a happy birthday were attached to the railings of Charlotte Square in the city’s New Town area.
Individually crafted letters were also put on display and read “Thanks Nicola” alongside clusters of balloons.
Kate Crichton shared a video of the decorations and said: “When Nicola Sturgeon looks out from Bute House, this is what she will see. Happy birthday FM.”
Thousands of Scots are expected to join a 'Clap for Nicola Sturgeon' event to mark the First Minister milestone birthday tomorrow.
Organisers are asking people across the country to join the celebration from their doorsteps at 8pm.
They vowed to applaud the SNP leader's handling of the coronavirus crisis with such gusto, Westminster will hear.
Organiser Siobhan McCann posted on Facebook: "Our First Minister has done an exceptional job throughout what's been a strange year so far, to say the least.
"We clapped for our fantastic NHS. We even clapped for Boris at some point (why, I’m not quite sure).
"Let’s give Nicola the 'full regalia' on her 50th birthday, Sunday 19th July at 8pm."
More than 8000 people have said they will be taking part while 23,000 have said they are interested.
