Munching Mountain!

ONE person looking forward to the forthcoming General Election is Sir Edward Mountain, the Tory MSP for the Highlands and Islands.

Not only has his party enjoyed a huge jump in the polls under Ruth Davidson’s leadership, the hours spent knocking on voters’ doors will afford the wealthy landowner the chance to buy himself his favourite treat more regularly.

No, not an expensive blended whisky, but cheese and onion crisps. Known as “his usual” in the Holyrood bar, the snacks are thought to have been banned by Sir Edward’s wife at home.
