Reform UK has set out plans to slash the range and level of taxes levied on people and businesses in Scotland ahead of the Holyrood election.
The group - formerly known as the Brexit Party - is standing candidates in all regions of Scotland on 6 May.

Leader Michelle Ballantyne said the wealth generating sector in Scotland had been crushed in recent years.
