Scotland's main political parties have rounded on Nigel Farage as the Reform UK leader came north to campaign in a crucial by-election.
Farage visited Scotland for the first time in the campaign where he said his party is a "fresh positive voice" between the Labour and SNP "seesaw" in Scotland.
Scottish Labour, the SNP and the Scottish Conservatives hit out at Farage and the Reform campaign, urging voters not to back the party in Thursday's vote in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse.
A by-election is being held in the constituency following the death of the SNP MSP Christina McKelvie.
Farage attended a press conference in Aberdeen, before visiting Hamilton and Larkhall.
He said Reform had made "remarkable strides" in Scotland over the last year and was "beginning to eclipse Labour".
He announced two more councillors have defected to join Reform, and said this was because the party was "attracting some very, very good fresh talent".
Councillor Duncan Massey, who had previously been a Conservative member of Aberdeen City Council, was unveiled as a latest defector alongside Jamie McGuire, who had sat for Labour on Renfrewshire Council.
