I always knew 5'5 was a big joke for her. She's always looked small to me, even in heals. I'd say 5'2 1/2.

I already commented on Nicola, it really is difficult to estimate her height, I’ve never seen her without the high heels. I’ll have to stick with my 5’2”.
I do find her attractive. I like Nicola.

Never seen her without huge 4 inchers on, I doubt she’s over 5’2”.
Quite attractive though.

Editor RobA fair while ago I put her at weak 5ft 3, I think she wears a decent size heel at times.

Editor Rob Phil, I would say 5ft 8 range for Big Alex is fine.

Ruth Davidson thinks she is 5 foot 5, but she isn't. Davidson is a short woman.

Editor Rob it is very arguable, at times she does look it.

Hi Rob, I was at the SNP conference a few days ago and Sturgeon is definitely and beyond any shadow of a doubt below 5ft3in; only with those extremely high heels of hers may she (perhaps..) reach that height. She deploys some ingenious 'tricks', however, to look taller: short 'fluffed up' hair, slimming clothes, and apparently her ridiculously high heels. Those who say she's taller than Ruth Davidson is an inaccurate claim as the latter usually wears flats whilst Sturgeon is walking on stilts.. Looking forward to seeing some photos of you, Rob, next to Sturgeon and Salmond. Perhaps next time during their spring conference. They won't decline your offer-no worries. They love taking selfies..;-)))

Editor Rob I could see a 5ft 2 estimate at times, she does wear reasonable heels compared to most female politicians.

She looks better in the flesh than in a photo for sure.... Height as listed.....seems straightforward... Unusual for a politician.
