After months of campaigning, we now know who will represent the North East in the Scottish Parliament.
The SNP won all of the local seats, with the exception of Aberdeenshire West which was taken by the Conservative Alexander Burnett.

They finish with 63 MSPs. The Tories second with 31, and Labour in third with 24.
