Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay said: “This Christmas gives me a chance to reflect on my first year as Scottish Conservative leader during which time I've met hard-working Scots to hear directly about their hopes for the future.
“It’s an honour to work alongside our fantastic MSPs, MPs, councillors and activists as we focus on rebuilding our party and standing up for our common-sense conservative values.
“At Christmas, politics should take a back seat. This is a time to reflect, enjoy time with loved ones. It is also important to think about how to help those who may be alone or in need of support.
“We should also thank the many dedicated public servants who work 24/7 through the festive season. Our Armed Forces at home and abroad, emergency service workers, and everyone else who keeps us safe and well.
“From everyone at the Scottish Conservatives, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.”
