Mr Yousaf pledged his allegiance to the King, as well as to serve him in the role as First Minister and Keeper of the Seal of Scotland
Humza Yousaf has been sworn in as the First Minister of Scotland at the Court of Session, and he will now start appointing his Cabinet.
The oath was administered by Lord Carloway, the Lord President, who heads up the judiciary in Scotland. So far, Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville, Ukraine minster Neil Gray and Net Zero Secretary Michael Matheson have been seen entering the official residence, but it is not yet clear if they will be moving positions.
But Mr Yousaf's newly appointed deputy said Ms Forbes's decision was based on wanting to get "out of the spotlight" after recently having a baby. The First Minister did consider Ms Forbes for other positions, Ms Robison said, but ultimately she made the decision to go to the backbenches.
