Reception marks Burns book launch
First Minister Alex Salmond has hosted a St Andrew's Day reception to mark the launch of a book celebrating the influence of Scotland's national bard.
Touched By Robert Burns includes contributions from celebrities including Sir Alex Ferguson, Alexander McCall Smith, Midge Ure and Brian Cox.
As well as honouring the Ayrshire-born poet, the publication also aims to highlight the work of children's organisation Unicef, with all proceeds going to the charity.
