A Scottish hospitality boss who has been attacked by 'Cybernats' for standing up for his industry, says Scotland is becoming "like Northern Ireland without the killings". 
Stephen Montgomery, spokesman for the Scottish Hospitality Group, said he has been on the receiving end of "horrendous" abuse since the group was formed last year to represent pub and hotel businesses employing 6,000 workers during the pandemic.
Thanks to his media-friendly approach, he has become the unofficial face of the country's battered hospitality industry as it has attempted to survive wave after wave of restrictions imposed by the SNP Government.
Last week, we revealed there were calls to boycott his business - The Townhead Hotel in Lockerbie - after he criticised First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's call for people to cancel work Christmas parties.
Speaking to the Scottish Daily Express, he revealed that further abuse had been hurled in his direction after he spoke out about the level of financial support on offer to deal with Omicron cancellations.
Mr Montgomery said: "I've been quite vocal but it's just vile hatred. Even today we've had emails come through and messages on Facebook calling me Tory scum and this, that and the other."
