Scotland's political leaders have made their final pitch to voters

:00:16.:00:20.

on the last day of the Holyrood election campaign.

:00:21.:00:22.

The country goes to the polls tomorrow.

:00:23.:00:28.

have been summing up those six weeks of electioneering.

:00:29.:00:33.

Glen Campbell will be with me on the floor of the studio there, bringing

:00:34.:00:43.

the results, collating the results. Before they come in, the campaign

:00:44.:00:48.

closes. Coming to the very close of this long campaign. The time for

:00:49.:00:54.

subtlety and nuance has gone. It's time now for the core messages. For

:00:55.:01:00.

subtlety and nuance has gone. It's the closing rally, it's become an

:01:01.:01:05.

SNP custom to gather here by the statue of Donald Dewar in Glasgow.

:01:06.:01:10.

Banners were distributed, the audience, young and old were

:01:11.:01:15.

mustered. Enter, the main act, to cheers. This has been a personal

:01:16.:01:20.

campaign for a leader seeking a personal mandate. Thank you to those

:01:21.:01:25.

of you have been campaigning for the SNP. Not all endorsed the aim of

:01:26.:01:32.

independence. Nicola Sturgeon dealt with the protest deftly. Thanks to

:01:33.:01:41.

usurp for showing what a democratic society this is. The SNP know that

:01:42.:01:47.

they have to get their vote out. I know that Scotland will choose to

:01:48.:01:52.

keep moving forward with the SNP. Nicola Sturgeon said her offer was

:01:53.:01:57.

to make Scotland wealthier, fairer and stronger. I'm asking Scotland to

:01:58.:02:04.

elect an SNP government so that we can invest in the health service to,

:02:05.:02:10.

childcare, reform education, create jobs and be a government that stands

:02:11.:02:18.

up and is Cronk for Scotland. And an old style rally but an urgent search

:02:19.:02:26.

for self fees. The subject of them they hope will be First Minister.

:02:27.:02:33.

Taking the applause as the Labour campaign approaches its end. A

:02:34.:02:37.

street in the heart of Edinburgh where the party have high hopes.

:02:38.:02:42.

Desire Dugdale has the unenviable task of leading a party battled and

:02:43.:02:47.

bruised at the general election. Nevertheless she has been sending a

:02:48.:02:53.

clear message. If you want to stop cuts, make different choices from

:02:54.:02:58.

the Tories and invest in the future and protect the NHS, use both votes

:02:59.:03:04.

for Labour. The leader embarked on more sedate photocalls compared to

:03:05.:03:09.

her rivals. Baking and cycling. The Conservatives have been trying to

:03:10.:03:16.

catch up and overtake. Labour of all would struggle to believe the

:03:17.:03:24.

challenge their party is now facing. The balance of power has well and

:03:25.:03:29.

truly shifted. Will the leader's position be secure if a get beaten

:03:30.:03:36.

to second place? I have a mission to renew the party and we have made

:03:37.:03:40.

progress and will continue to do that. Towering above the

:03:41.:03:45.

campaigners, an impressive tenement. Which way will the wind alone

:03:46.:03:55.

tomorrow? -- blow tomorrow. After a trip by helicopter around Scotland,

:03:56.:04:03.

a stint as a bus driver and even on the back of the buffalo, Ruth

:04:04.:04:07.

Davidson had a spring in her step. No prizes for spotting the message.

:04:08.:04:13.

She has put her own appeal at the heart of the bid to turn around Tory

:04:14.:04:17.

fortunes in Scotland. The Conservatives hope they are on the

:04:18.:04:22.

brink of a breakthrough. They think they can hold the next Scottish

:04:23.:04:28.

Government to account. I asked to step up and serve and lead a strong

:04:29.:04:33.

opposition which says no to any attempt to take us back to more

:04:34.:04:38.

division on independence and instead demands that our parliament works

:04:39.:04:43.

for all our people. Mr Davidson is hoping some will vote Tory for the

:04:44.:04:51.

first time. People who aren't natural Conservatives and never

:04:52.:04:57.

considered voting conservative before will want somebody to hold

:04:58.:05:02.

the SNP to account and I think I can do that and I think I can create a

:05:03.:05:06.

better government in Scotland because of it. Will you finish

:05:07.:05:13.

second tomorrow? Yes. And then back to the streets. In just over a day's

:05:14.:05:22.

time we will know if the name is going to stick. Why vote Lib Dem?

:05:23.:05:30.

They spelt out their final message to voters. A precarious position but

:05:31.:05:37.

they argue that people want Scotland to be the best and must invest in

:05:38.:05:43.

learning. A small sacrifice of 1p on income tax will develop ?5 million

:05:44.:05:51.

for investment in education to make Scotland one of the best educated

:05:52.:05:58.

countries once again. He has had an action packed campaign. Exploring

:05:59.:06:03.

the great outdoors. A few memorable visits along the trail and the

:06:04.:06:07.

highlight of the election? He says they are turning the tide in their

:06:08.:06:13.

favour. The Lib Dems are back to their best. Also, some great fun on

:06:14.:06:21.

the campaign as well. All of that has been great fun. It shows Liberal

:06:22.:06:26.

Democrats have got energy and dynamism. Pounding the pavements

:06:27.:06:33.

this afternoon. Back on home turf for the Lib Dem leader, still trying

:06:34.:06:44.

to convince undecided voters. The views there, the offerings from the

:06:45.:06:51.

four main parties at Holyrood. This contest is about more than that.

:06:52.:06:56.

There are other significant voices. We can close the chronic inequality

:06:57.:07:02.

gap in wealth and income in our society. We can invest in homes and

:07:03.:07:08.

jobs of the future that will last for the long-term. Scotland can

:07:09.:07:11.

protect our communities from threats like racking. We can do this if we

:07:12.:07:19.

have a bold parliament willing to push the government beyond its

:07:20.:07:28.

comfort zone. Ukip wants to challenge the Scottish parliament.

:07:29.:07:31.

The rest of them are all friends. We want to shake it up. We have become

:07:32.:07:37.

used to a torrid political discourse. By contrast, this

:07:38.:07:43.

campaign has been tepid. It comes in a series of electoral contests.

:07:44.:07:50.

campaign has been tepid. It comes in Perhaps it is because the opinion

:07:51.:07:54.

polls suggest an SNP victory is far and away the most likely. Perhaps

:07:55.:07:59.

that has contributed to the nature of the contest. At the same time,

:08:00.:08:03.

these are deeply significant elections. The parliamentarians we

:08:04.:08:10.

are choosing govern our public services, education, schools,

:08:11.:08:13.

universities, the health service, that has been a big talking point.

:08:14.:08:18.

They make our laws in devolved areas, including much of the

:08:19.:08:24.

criminal law. From now on, they are in charge of income tax.

:08:25.:08:32.

Consequently, this is a deeply significant election. The relatively

:08:33.:08:39.

genteel nature of the campaign with an ease from time to time, I think

:08:40.:08:46.

it possible that the good and sensible people of Scotland are

:08:47.:08:49.

weighing up this choice and making decisions quietly and calmly and in

:08:50.:08:51.

time for tomorrow. A senior social worker has told

:08:52.:08:54.

a murder trial that toddler Liam Fee "went off the radar"

:08:55.:08:57.

after an initial investigation Karen Pedder said it wasn't

:08:58.:08:59.

till fresh concerns came in that they looked

:09:00.:09:04.

at the case again. Rachel and Nyomi Fee deny murdering

:09:05.:09:06.

Liam Fee and ill-treating and the trial at the high court

:09:07.:09:08.

on Livingston continues. Hundreds of jobs are set

:09:09.:09:13.

to go at the oil services It describes it as "streamlining"

:09:14.:09:16.

in response to challenges The Wood Group employs six that

:09:17.:09:44.

might not sound surprising in the current consultation. The company

:09:45.:09:51.

has secured new contract in Azerbaijan and as you work in the

:09:52.:09:57.

North Sea nevertheless the company says it needs to look to the future

:09:58.:10:01.

of the oil industry and what the landscape will be like. Therefore,

:10:02.:10:06.

it has two streamlined and job losses are part of that

:10:07.:10:10.

unfortunately. The culprit is the continuing low price of oil. This

:10:11.:10:16.

time two years ago a barrel was worth $110, today it is worth $45

:10:17.:10:21.

even after the price has rallied slightly. The countries which

:10:22.:10:29.

produce most of the world's oil has come together to agree to reduce

:10:30.:10:34.

output so that the price might rise. They have been unable to do that.

:10:35.:10:39.

This squeeze might continue for some time to come. One of the piece of

:10:40.:10:43.

news concerning the offshore industry. European aviation safety

:10:44.:10:51.

agency has warned that checks on the model of helicopter that was

:10:52.:10:54.

involved in the crash in Norway on Friday. Their gearboxes that the

:10:55.:11:00.

cheque. 13 people, most of them offshore workers died, including Ian

:11:01.:11:07.

Stewart from the future. -- from the future.

:11:08.:11:09.

Raith Rovers have claimed a slender advantage in the first leg

:11:10.:11:11.

of their quarter final playoff against Hibernian.

:11:12.:11:13.

Substitute Harry Panayiotou scored the game's only goal -

:11:14.:11:15.

the return leg takes place at Easter Road on Saturday.
