It's the last weekend of campaigning before the Holyrood election on May 5 and party leaders are looking for your vote.

Politicians will be pitching voters their plans for health, education and the economy as the parties campaign across Scotland.

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was in Stirling on Saturday morning, telling voters it was time "to decide who they trust as First Minister".

The First Minister said: "With five days till polling day it is time for voters to decide who they trust as First Minister and who can take this country forward.

"I pledge to people all across Scotland that if I am elected as First Minister I will work tirelessly to keep Scotland moving forward and to always act in the best interests of Scotland.

"I will deliver the investment that is needed to transform our NHS with more doctors, nurses and new treatment centres.

"I will put improving our education system at the heart of the government's efforts, investing £750m to improve attainment, doubling free childcare and protecting free higher education and as First Minister I will always work to secure jobs in Scotland and create new opportunities to build a strong economy.

"This week's election is about who becomes First Minister, who forms the government of Scotland and who will always stand up for Scotland.

Sturgeon added: "Voters have the chance, by using both votes for the SNP on Thursday, to elect me as First Minister for the first time, and to ensure Scotland continues to move forwards."

The SNP say they intend to have over 50,000 activists on the streets this weekend, with plans to reach every one of Scotland's 2.4 million households.

Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale visited Edinburgh on Saturday to launch a new billboard poster urging voters to "stop the cuts".

Based on analysis by the think-tank IPPR, Labour claimed its tax plans would generate £600 for every Scot or £1250 per household.

Dugdale said: "The new powers of the Scottish Parliament mean there is a clear choice in this election. We can vote to carry on the cuts with the SNP and the Tories or stop the cuts with Scottish Labour.

"Labour's plans to use the powers of the Scottish Parliament to tax the rich, invest in education and stop the cuts will mean £600 of public spending more per person compared to the SNP.

"We can use our Scottish Parliament to call a halt to the conveyor belt of Tory austerity. The cuts can stop, we can tax the richest and we can invest in our future.

"That's the difference in this election. A choice between investing in the future of our country by investing in the skills of our people so they can compete for the jobs of the future, or carrying on the cuts that will hold Scotland back.

She added: "If people want the change we offer then they have to use both of their votes for Labour. Change will only happen if people vote for it."

The party say that Labour activists across Scotland will speak to tens of thousands of voters before polling day.

The Scottish Tories have promised Saturday will be the party's biggest ever campaign day for a Holyrood election.

Speaking ahead of the campaign day on Friday night, party leader Ruth Davidson hammered home her key campaign message that the Conservatives would provide a "strong opposition" to the SNP.

Davidson said: "This is the biggest campaign day for a Scottish Parliament election we've ever had. From Stranraer to Shetland, local activists and supporters will be out and about talking to people with our key message - that only we can provide a strong opposition to the SNP.

"The scope of our campaigning events today show the level of our ambition at this election. We want to represent all of Scotland and become Scotland's main opposition."

The Tory leader added: "No matter where you live, the Scottish Conservatives are offering the same: we will stand up to the SNP's drive for a second referendum, and ensure we get better government and better public services as a result."

The Conservatives say they will be holding 130 stalls across Scotland on Saturday, and have launched a #TeamRuth hashtag on social media.

Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie was joined in Dundee by former UK party leader Lord Menzies Campbell on Saturday morning.

The Liberal Democrats will be touring areas of the country where the party do not normally win seats, following an opinion poll that suggested majority support for Lib Dems' flagship 'penny for education' plan.

Rennie said: "Everywhere I go people tell me that they are delighted that Lib Dems are talking about things like education and mental health that have been neglected by the SNP who have focused on the constitution.

"Our positive and uplifting plans are gaining support right across Scotland in places like Dundee that have never had a Liberal Democrat constituency MSP.

"Voters have less than a week to ensure that the next five years are about schools, health, the environment and civil liberties. You only get that with the Liberal Democrats and that is why we will grow at this election."

On Sunday, the Lib Dem leader will visit and lend a hand at a farm shop in South Queensferry, Edinburgh.

The Scottish Greens say they will be campaigning heavily in all eight Scottish electoral regions over the weekend, with street stalls and canvassing happening all over the country.

On Saturday, Green MP for Brighton Pavilion and former UK party leader Caroline Lucas joined Ross Greer on the campaign trail in the West of Scotland.

Were Greer to be elected on May 5, he would be the Scottish Parliament's youngest-ever MSP.

So far, Greer and Lucas have already visited street stalls in Milngavie, Paisley and Clydebank.
