Disgraced former SNP finance secretary Derek Mackay has been spotted at an energy conference in Glasgow.
Mackay said he had “apologised” for bombarding a 16 year old school boy with texts and said he is now working on renewable energy issues.
The former SNP high flyer, who was tipped as a future First Minister, quit on the day he was supposed to have delivered his Budget in 2020 after the messages emerged.
He never set foot in the parliament again as an MSP and set up his own consultancy, Lochan Associates.
In a rare sighting, he was seen at the “all energy” conference at the SEC - an event described as a “vital date” for the renewable and low carbon energy industry.
He said: "I think it is clear I resigned, left public office, and now getting on with my life.
"I have apologised before and I apologise again. I apologised publicly."
Asked why he was at the conference, he said: "Because I am working, contributing to society, and this is about renewables, that’s why I’m here today.
"I’ve apologised for any discomfort that caused and I’m just trying to get on with my life like everyone else is.”
First Minister Humza Yousaf was also at the conference this morning.

Derek Thompson will leave the BBC drama Casualty after starring as Charlie Fairhead for 37 years. He is the who’s longest-serving cast member, having been in the cast since it launched in 1986.
Derek Thompson, Casualty's longest-serving cast member, has announced that he will be departing the BBC show after 37 years, the BBC has said. The actor, who plays Charlie Fairhead on the popular BBC medical soap, has said of his departure: "The time has come for me to hang up Charlie’s scrubs after the most wonderful 37 years. "Charlie Fairhead was inspired by a real nurse – Pete Salt.Together with the writers and producers, I have tried to bring to Charlie the compassion, kindness, heroism and sound judgement that we all see and love in Pete and I want to say thanks to Pete and everyone else over that time who has inspired me in bringing this character to life." Nurse Charlie has played a key role in a number of the show's storylines and will be departing in a gripping exit storyline later this year.

Emily Longeretta Warning: This story contains spoilers from “Red Waterfall,” the Season 11 finale of NBC’s “Chicago Fire.” Is another main character leaving the One Chicago universe? During the “Chicago Med” finale on Wednesday, original star Nick Gehlfuss made his final appearance — one of the many exits that has happened over the last year in the Dick Wolf procedurals. During the Season 11 “Chicago Fire” finale, Mouch (played by Christian Stolte, who has been on the series since 2012 debut) was hit by shrapnel during a call with a live shooter. After being rushed to the hospital, the firehouse was alerted that it wasn’t a bullet and that he was alert and recovering. However, in the final moments of the episode, Herrmann (David Eigenberg) was by Mouch’s side when he realized that he was looking pale. He looked down and saw that Mouch had been bleeding — and then flat-lined. As the camera panned out, it became clear why the title of the episode was “Red Waterfall,” as blood ran off the side of Mouch’s hospital bed and Herrmann screamed for a doctor.
