Police have been contacted after a north-east Conservative supporter received a “sinister” warning on a sign purportedly from ultra-nationalist group Siol nan Gaidheal.
A private landowner near Aboyne found the message, which referenced the Siol nan Gaidheal group, next to an election campaign sign supporting Alexander Burnett, a former MSP and Tory candidate in Aberdeenshire West.
The sign stated: “WHAT HAS THIS MAN DONE FOR YOU.”
It was accompanied by a message that read: “Please don’t remove this information or this sign, or I will be compelled to remove all signs referring to Burnett or Indy Ref 2.
