Nicola Sturgeon has led tributes to those murdered during the the Dunblane massacre on the anniversary of the tragedy.
The First Minister remembered victims of the tragedy, which took place on a dark day for Scotland 26 years ago.
On March 13, 1996, crazed gunman Thomas Hamilton murdered 16 primary school children and their teacher in Dunblane, sending shockwaves of grief around the world.
The incident led to the UK having some of the tightest gun laws in the world as brave locals campaigned to try to stop such a tragedy from ever happening again.
Sturgeon retweeted a post by a local who attended Dunblane Primary School who said the "sadness of what happened in my wee school never goes away".
It included a photo of a snowdrop that has come to symbolise on the campaign for a handgun ban.
The First Minister added: "Dunblane - forever in our hearts."
The Dunblane Massacre remains the deadliest mass shooting in British history and most of the children killed by Hamilton were aged just five.
Those gone but never forgotten include Emma Crozier, Charlotte Dunn, Ross Irvine, Mhairi MacBeath, Abigail McLennan, Sophie North, Joanna Ross, Megan Turner, Hannah Scott, John Petrie, Emily Morton, Brett McKinnon, David Kerr, Kevin Hasell, Melissa Currie, Victoria Clydesdale and teacher Gwen Mayor, who died trying to save them.
The University of Stirling are among those that have added their own tribute to the victims.
The uni tweeted: "Remembering those who tragically lost their lives at #Dunblane Primary on this day, 26 years ago. Our hearts go out to their families during this time."
