STURGEON DAD TO THE RESCUE

Sister recalls younger relative's collapse

- RECORD REPORTER

NICOLA Sturgeon's dad has been hailed a hero after he rushed to save a young relative who collapsed on a beach.

The family drama happened on Saturday just two days after the former first minister's husband Peter Murrell was charged with embezzling money from the SNP.

Her dad Robin, a former SNP candidate who is in his 70s, helped the relative on the dunes at Irvine beach.

His other daughter Gillian told her online followers: "She took unwell at the beach and lost consciousness."

She and her dad then waited for an ambulance to take the teenager to hospital.
