New First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced the line-up of her senior ministerial team, half of whom are women.
The first minister's close ally Shona Robison has been promoted to health secretary, while Michael Matheson replaces Kenny MacAskill in the justice role.
Ms Sturgeon said: "The cabinet line-up is also a clear demonstration that this government will work hard in all areas to promote women, to create gender equality and it sends out a strong message that the business of redressing the gender balance in public life starts right here in government."
