Today (May 25) she become Scotland's longest-serving First Minister – surpassing her predecessor, Alex Salmond.
Ms Sturgeon took over the top post in 2014.
We look back on her many visits to Fife during that time in this special photo gallery.

One from the archives! In 2007 as the Scottish Government’s Health Secretary, Nicola Sturgeon made a visit to an innovative Fife project. The ‘Granny School’ at Kirkcaldy’s Forth Park Hospital . The project aimed to prepare grandparents for childcare responsibilities in later life and it was hoped that other health boards would also follow the model. Photo: Fife Free Press
