With all the results now in, the final state of the parties is:
SNP 63 (-6 on 2011 Holyrood election result)
CON 31 (+16)
LAB 24 (-13)
GRN 6 (+4)
LD 5 (no change)
The SNP has fallen two seats short of forming a majority government and must now decide whether to go it alone as a minority government or enter into an agreement with one of the other parties.
