Tory MSP Russell Findlay warned of threat to his life
Scottish Conservative MSP Russell Findlay says he has been warned by Police Scotland of a threat to his life.
Mr Findlay, who is running for leadership of his party, said he was told that a "known criminal" was behind the intimidation.
He said the threat is believed to be linked to the case of William Burns, a hitman who attacked Mr Findlay with acid at his home in 2015.
Earlier this week Mr Findlay, a former crime journalist, became the first Scottish Conservative to formally announce his intention to run for leader.
