Mr Smith had never fully appreciated just how much of a non-traditionalist Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond MSP actually was.
"The First Minister's official Christmas card is based on a specially commissioned painting by the artist John Lowrie Morrison, with the original to be auctioned for a children's charity in the New Year. It shows a JoLoMo painting of Linlithgow Palace reflected in the loch, depicting Alex Salmond's home town. The town was also the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots."
The again it might have something to do with the fact that our Alex still lives in Linlithgow, and the less well known fact that Linlithgow is populated by a very large number of Scottish Government civil servants. It's a bit too contemporary for Mr Smith.
