Commenting on the use of the Great Hall in Edinburgh Castle for Alex Salmond's launch, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie MSP said:
Willie Rennie MSP"As well as costing the taxpayer a fortune this sends all the wrong messages.
"Things seem to have gone to the First Minister's head. To use Scotland's national monument for party political ends will just jar with people.
"It's Burns' Night as well. Many people will look at the words of A Man's A Man, and think that Alex Salmond's 'tinsel show' at the castle looks out of touch."
