SCOTLAND’S only Labour MP Ian Murray branded a top SNP politician a “liability” yesterday after he failed to declare he owns a hotel in the Scottish Highlands.

Frank Ross, the party’s group leader on Edinburgh City Council, initially said he could not remember if he had updated his register of interests with details about his 11-bedroom Silverfjord Hotel in Kingussie, bought last October.

But he has since submitted fresh paperwork to the local authority confirming that he owns most of the company which bought the hotel.
