Ukip leader Nigel Farage was the most searched leader in Aberdeen North
Ukip leader Nigel Farage was the most searched for political leader on the internet in Aberdeen North during the election campaign, it has emerged.
The intriguing figures from Google also reveal surprising results for the other constituencies across the north and north-east.
In what could be an ominous sign for Liberal Democrat Treasury chief Danny Alexander, the SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon was the subject of most searches in his Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey seat.
The first minister was also the most searched for leader in the Lib Dem stronghold of Orkney and Shetland, as well as Labour-held Aberdeen South, and the traditionally SNP-controlled Banff and Buchan.
Meanwhile, Labour leader Ed Miliband was the most searched party chief in Gordon – where Alex Salmond is standing – and in West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine.
Prime Minister David Cameron was top in Charles Kennedy’s Ross, Skye and Lochaber seat, as well as SNP-held Western Isles, and Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, where Lib Dem John Thurso is the incumbent.
Who were the most searched for leaders in the north of Scotland? You may be surprised…
