The new MSP for Banffshire and Buchan Coast has been sworn in to the Scottish Parliament.

Karen Adam took her affirmation in Holyrood earlier today - but she did so in British Sign Language.

Adam's father is deaf and she told Northsound on election night how she's been interpreting for him since she was a young girl.
