THE First Minister demonstrated her ceilidh dancing skills today as she met with the SNP's candidate for Dumfries and Galloway.
At Lochside Community Centre, Nicola Sturgeon and General Election candidate Richard Arkless took part in what appears to be a version of the Circassian Circle dance.

The constituency's MP is currently Scottish Secretary Alister Jack, who took the seat from the incumbent Arkless.
Arkless is hoping to regain the position at the December 12 poll.
The ceilidh wasn't Sturgeon's first time having a dance since the election was announced. Last week, the SNP leader was spotted in the south side of Glasgow dancing to Pharrell's Happy with pupils from Pollokshields Primary.

The pupils took part in outdoor dance workshops in the area led by "dance activist" Kate E Deeming as part of the Dance International Glasgow festival organised by Tramway.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
