A Jaguar, a £1,200 space telescope, and designer salt and pepper shakers costing more than £2,000 are just some of the items former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell bought using money he embezzled from the party.
He also bought three designer manicure sets for nearly £294, two toilet seats, and a coffee machine for nearly £3,232.
Murrell also purchased a book of speeches by his estranged wife, Nicola Sturgeon.
Murrell pleaded guilty to embezzling over £400,000 from the party during a High Court appearance in Edinburgh on Monday morning.
The amended charge reduced the amount of the embezzled money from more than £459,000.
A 126-page indictment details hundreds of items that Murrell bought using the embezzled funds.
