Parties keep up election pressure 'All to play for' ahead of polls
(about 12 hours later)
The main parties will be out and about across the country again making the most of the final few days of the election campaign. Scottish Labour Leader Jack McConnell has said there was still "all to play for" ahead of the Holyrood elections.
Labour is expected to continue its focus on the economy. He told BBC Radio Scotland that people were being increasingly won over by Labour's plans to boost education.
The Conservatives will unveil plans for local government finance, while the Liberal Democrats will highlight their policies on higher education. The first minister was in Stornoway in the Western Isles to visit Lews Castle College and see renewable and hydrogen technologies on the campus.
Elsewhere, the Scottish National Party will be joined by its latest celebrity backer - the actress Elaine C Smith. Justice Minister Cathy Jamieson met Stirling residents to talk about anti-social behaviour.
Labour leader Jack McConnell is to meet voters in Stornoway, while the leader of the Conservatives, Annabel Goldie, is to take to the streets of Ayr with the shadow chancellor George Osborne. Mr McConnell described his party's education vision as "more radical than the smoking ban".

He said that voters were now realising the importance of the election and indicated there were a high number of undecided voters.
"That means that there is all to play for," he told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme.
"This is an election, it is about electing a government, it's not a game and therefore it is essential we put across the choice that exists the consequences of the vote.
"This is about the government of Scotland, it's about the future of our country, people should think very carefully about that choice."
Mr McConnell also denied that that Scottish Labour's election campaign had been "relentlessly negative".
"The Labour campaign has been about pointing out the consequences of the vote next Thursday," he added.
