The National:

ONE Tory MSP has had a busy summer - visiting almost 3000 constituents. The only trouble is, it’s not clear how many of those were actually his.

Craig Hoy was elected to represent South Scotland in Holyrood in the May elections, but he doesn’t seem to have completely grasped what that means.

Congratulating himself on a successful “summer surgery street tour”, the Scottish Tory tweeted: “It was great to get out and about in East Lothian, Midlothian and the Borders during my summer surgery tour and speak to so many residents.”

He added that he had “knocked on 1563 doors, contacted 2913 constituents, visited 48 streets, [and] picked up dozens of cases”.

Unfortunately for Hoy, it is unclear exactly how many of those knocked doors were in his South Scotland region.

If the MSP’s own map is anything to go by, not all of them were.

He seems to have visited places such as Dalkeith, Loanhead, and passed through the Pentland Hills. The issue is that none of those fall under his remit.

Instead, those are all in the Lothian region.

If the Tory MSP doesn’t even know where the borders to his own region are it doesn’t bode too well for the rest of his role…

Hoy told the Jouker that the larger dots on the map show where he visited and that "they’re all in the South Scotland area I am proud to represent, a quick look at my Twitter feed in recent months would have confirmed this".

It is unclear what the smaller dots on the map represent.
