Nicola Sturgeon has led the tributes to 9/11 victims on the 20th anniversary of the attacks.
The First Minister took to social media to share her grief over the 'horror' New York terrorist attack that shocked the world in 2001.
She wrote that no-one old enough to remember will ever forget where they were when the two commercial planes crashed into the Twin Towers.
She tweeted: "No-one old enough to remember will ever forget where they were, and the sense of utter disbelief, as the horror of 9/11 unfolded.
"20 years on, my thoughts are with all the victims of those horrific terror attacks - those who died and those left behind to grieve."
2996 people died in the 9/11 attack, including 67 Britons, which was the deadliest terror attack in US history.
The attacks sadly claimed the lives of multiple Scots who had been working in the America at the time.
Colin McArthur, 52, from Glasgow, who worked on the 104th floor of the South Tower and Iain Gray, 55 from Wick, who was on his way to a business trip in Los Angeles on American Airlines flight 77 when it plunged into the Pentagon.
The tragedy also claimed the life of Dundee banker Derek Sword.
The 29-year-old worked on the 89th floor of the South Tower alongside Andrew Cullen, 51, from Motherwell, who spoke exclusively to the Sunday Mail last week about his miraculous escape from the World Trade Centre after he was blasted out of a lift.
