A TORY donor has been blasted after a video emerged showing customers not adhering to social distancing rules.

Footage posted on Twitter showed customers hugging at The Draft Project last night as Scotland secured their place at Euro 2020.

The bar, owned by PB Devco which also runs the nearby Soul Bar, was one of 28 venues linked to Aberdeen’s coronavirus cluster outbreak in August.

PB Devco donated £20,000 to the Conservative and Unionist Party on May 22, 2017, just weeks before the UK election.

It was hoped Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire might be dropped from level 2 to level 1 in this week’s review of the Scottish Government’s national framework for coronavirus.

The First Minister said the north-east has shown some “stability” in cases, but not enough to merit lowering it to tier 1.

In level 2 licensed premises can only serve alcohol indoors with a main meal - and then only until 8pm. Outdoors, customers can be served until 10.30pm

The bar's application for a pop-up tent venue controversially fast-tracked in the summer after Tory MSP Liam Kerr called for urgent action.

The Scottish Hospitality Group called for the bar to be investigated.

They said: "The scenes coming from #draftproject tonight in Aberdeen are nothing short of disgraceful. The SHG condemn fully the behaviour of the operator & customers. There is a duty to protect public health and we would support any action taken by authorities after any investigation."
