First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon

Nicola Sturgeon chats to Bryan Burnett about the joys and pressures of her dream job as First Minister of Scotland

Bryan Burnett travels to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh to meet Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon. She is Scotland’s first female First Minister and the first woman to lead any of the devolved UK administrations.

In a revealing conversation they discuss topics as diverse as the pain of losing an election, the joy of the selfie and why it is important to develop a thick skin in politics. She also hears the opinions of some of Scotland's young people on what the First Minister 'does all day'.

At home and off duty, the First Minister is an avid reader. She is an enthusiastic advocate of reading as a pastime for young people and, within the programme, reveals a long-held secret ambition of her own.
