BORIS Johnson’s Scottish holiday plans were confirmed this morning as pictures of his camping holiday were published.
The Daily Mail claims it went on a mission to track down the Prime Minister after he avoided the media throughout England’s exam results chaos.
Not that his silence made much of a difference to the usual Tory shenanigans, so we’re not sure why they were so concerned.
It had been reported that Johnson was heading on a two-week “staycation” in Scotland with his partner, their baby and their dog. This was not confirmed by Downing Street, but Johnson hadn’t been seen for several days.
This, according to the Daily Mail's brilliant scoop today, is Boris Johnson's camping holiday hideaway in Scotland.

The newspaper says it tracked down the Prime Minister in an isolated coastal location, staying in a tepee-style canvas tent pitched in the garden of a cottage.
The three-bedroom holiday home overlooking the sea marks a big change to his last overseas holiday on the luxury Caribbean island of Mustique.

Johnson has not allowed press to officially photograph his summer break, unlike previous Tory leaders.
Hopefully the midges will have given the Prime Minister a warm welcome.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
