Scottish political leaders have sent their condolences to the people of Norway after at least 85 died in a gun massacre at a youth camp and another seven died in an explosion in Oslo.
First Minister Alex Salmond said: "On behalf of the Scottish Government and the people of Scotland, I extend our deepest condolences to the people of Norway in the wake of this truly horrific and appalling tragedy.
"We have already offered the Norwegian government any assistance they may require in the coming days, and we stand ready to help in any way we possibly can.
"Scotland and Norway enjoy very strong bonds of friendship stretching back over many years, and our thoughts and sympathies are today with the Norwegian people, particularly the families of all those affected by these terrible incidents."
