FLAMIN' SHAM

A REVIEW of the Scottish Government's widely criticised move to approve Flamingo Land's Loch Lomond resort will be led by the same official who gave it the green light.

The Sunday Mail has learned Scottish Government Reporter David Buylla who gave the controversial £43.5million project in Balloch planning permission - will now advise SNP ministers who have been forced to call in the decision for reappraisal.

Fuious activists say it showed the process was a "sham".

The government was forced to U-turn on the initial backing for the lochside resort by Buylla a top civil servant - amid local opposition and the threat of a parliamentary defeat.
