    All sounds like a pathetically transparent "official" attempt to smear Alex Salmond, which if I was Scottish and even slightly sympathetic with his aims might well push me off the fence onto his side.

    Don't the Daily Mail and suchlike realise that people are more savvy about crude propaganda like this these days, and that there's a big risk of it backfiring?!

    Wasn't he watching the golf as part of some scottish tourism promotion mission?

    Seems like a reasonable hotel to me.

    FTFY

    that is the point, our Political masters assume we will pay regardless. On the face of it he was there for the golf, he may of shaken a few hands. This is probably why he tried to hide it.

    Yep, that does make me wonder. But was there some official business going on there?

    Clutching at straws.

    The campaign is lost for sure now. Forget about MP's fraudulently claiming £50k. This barsteward is really taking the sloshy.
