New Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed that Alister Jack will continue in his role as Secretary of State for Scotland.
Mr Jack has held the cabinet post since being appointed by Boris Johnson in 2019.
The MP for Dumfries and Galloway was one of the ministers to survive a major reshuffle by new PM Rishi Sunak.
Nine cabinet ministers have left their posts, including former business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg. He is replaced by Grant Shapps, whose former roles include transport secretary.
Mr Jack was previously a prominent supporter of Mr Johnson, and was one of the few ministers who did not resign ahead of the former prime minister being forced from office earlier this year.
Mr Jack told the BBC he was "very pleased" to have been reappointed as Scottish Secretary.
Very significant challenges
"We are facing very significant challenges both at home and abroad, and there is much to be done," he said.
Mr Sunak - the UK's third prime minister since September - announced his new cabinet shortly after being appointed as prime minister by King Charles.
This included Jeremy Hunt remaining as chancellor, James Cleverly as foreign secretary and Ben Wallace as defence secretary.
Suella Braverman has been re-appointed as home secretary less than a week after she resigned from the same role in Liz Truss's cabinet.
Michael Gove and Dominic Raab are among the former ministers who have returned to the cabinet.
In his first speech since becoming PM, Mr Sunak said he had been elected as Tory leader to fix the "mistakes" made by his predecessor Ms Truss.
Difficult decisions
He also warned of difficult decisions ahead as his government attempts to tackle a "profound economic crisis".
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross said Mr Sunak had been "frank and honest" and praised him for not attempting to "sugar coat the fact that tough decisions lie ahead".
Mr Ross also says today that Mr Sunak will "stand firm" against Nicola Sturgeon's plan to break up Britain.
Writing in the Telegraph, the Scottish Tory leader said voters could be "confident" the new Prime Minister will refuse to give in to Ms Sturgeon's "divisive agenda".
He said they could trust Mr Sunak to "act in the interests of every corner of the UK" and pledged he would "put Scotland and the whole of the UK on a solid footing going forward".
