    Lib Dems outline election message

    </span> Mr Scott will tell delegates the party does not "keel over in the face of a challenge"
    The Scottish Liberal Democrats will use the party's autumn conference to outline their message for the Scottish Parliament elections next year.

    Leader Tavish Scott is expected to talk about delivering an agenda of fairness at Westminster and at Holyrood.

    Mr Scott will tell delegates the party does not "keel over in the face of a challenge".

    Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander will also speak at the event in Dunfermline .

    Mr Scott will highlight the party's record in government, stating: "As a party of government we delivered free personal care, free eye and dental checks and fair votes for local government.

    "As a party of government we are delivering tax cuts for lower earners, proper pensions for senior citizens and stronger tax credits for those young families that need it most.

    "And as a party of government, next year in Holyrood we will deliver new jobs for our economy, quality public services for our society and opportunity for all with an education system that is second to none."

    He will call on delegates not to be "inhibited by our opponents, be liberated by our record" as May's elections approach.

    "This party stands for fairness, freedom and social justice," he will say.
