Tories win Aberdeenshire West as SNP majority hangs in balance

The Scottish Conservatives have managed to hold the crucial Aberdeenshire West seat.

Alexander Burnett's win in the North East could prevent the SNP gaining a majority in the Holyrood chamber.

The SNP's former head of communications Fergus Mutch failed to overturn the 900 majority Scotland's wealthiest candidate had from 2016.

Digital connectivity, town centre regeneration and transport links were the main issues the candidates dealt with on the doorstep.

Rosemary Bruce for the Libs finished in third place while Labour candidate Andrew Brown took fourth spot.
