Edinburgh Central MSP Angus Robertson, 53, was leader of the SNP's Westminster group for ten years before losing his Commons seat in 2017 after 16 years as MP for Moray.
He was also one of the masterminds behind the SNP's first Holyrood election victory in 2007 and then in 2011 when the party won an overall majority. After being elected to the Scottish Parliament in 2021 he was appointed straight into the Cabinet as Secretary for the Constitution, External Affairs and Culture.
Brought up in Edinburgh, he worked for the BBC World Service before going into politics. And while at Westminster he was the party's long-serving spokesman on defence and foreign affairs.
He is the most experienced candidate in the race and seen as one of the obvious frontrunners.
