Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond ended up having a closer fight with Labour than had been widely predicted.
But, with results delayed thanks to chaos over the new voting system, it still remains possible he may be in with the chances of ending up as first minister in the parliament.
If that is the case, he will almost certainly have to forge a coalition with another party, expected to be the Liberal Democrats.
For that to happen there will be tough negotiations in the days ahead, particularly over the SNP's desire to hold a referendum on independence, something the Lib Dems are fundamentally opposed to.
But, even if the SNP do end up miss out in the end from becoming the biggest party in the parliament, Mr Salmond had done enough to support his claim a wind of change is blowing through Scottish politics.
