Earlier this month, while on a conference trip to the North Macedonian lake resort of Ohrid, the former first minister of Scotland passed away at the age of 69 after a heart attack.
Earlier in lunch, the late head of the Alba Party had given a speech before passing out in a packed gathering.
The prime minister, the king, and prominent lawmakers all paid their respects after his unexpected demise stunned the UK political community.
On Friday, Mr. Salmond’s body was returned to Aberdeen.
The burial was confirmed by the Alba Party, which Mr. Salmond created following a sour falling out with Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP.
The former SNP leader and his wife resided in the rural village of Strichen, where the family service will be held.
Next month, a larger public commemoration is anticipated.
