Salmond hails impact of Reformation

The impact of the Reformation is "felt to this day", First Minister Alex Salmond has said ahead of a series of events to mark its 450th anniversary.

The 16th-century overhaul saw Scotland formally break from the Catholic Church's authority and a programme of events on Wednesday will commemorate its legacy.

The Church of Scotland and the Catholic Church have joined together to commemorate the occasion.
