If you were north of the border over the weekend breathing in Scotland’s febrile political atmosphere you may have been standing side-by-side with none other than Rupert Murdoch. 
 
But you may not have known it. 
 
According to a tweet by the media tycoon, he went undercover for a true Scots experience.
 
We’re not quite sure how Murdoch travelled incognito around Glas­gow, Aberdeen and the small coastal settlement of Rose­hearty, but we’re picturing an elaborate stereotypical ensemble involving kilts, blue face paint and copious consumption of Irn-Bru and Tunnock’s teacakes.

Alas, it appears Mur­doch’s undercover op came to an abrupt halt after he was spotted. 
 
Murdoch has been a vociferous supporter of Alex Salmond, but yesterday he tweeted: “SNP not talking about independence, but more welfarism.” Maybe his trip north has cooled his ardour for the Yes vote.
