Nicola Sturgeon returned to the north-east today to join Richard Thomson, SNP candidate for Gordon, on the campaign trail.
The first minister travelled to Ellon to meet staff at the BrewDog craft beer brewery.

Ahead of her visit, she said: “It’s clear that at this election, a vote for the SNP is a vote to protect Scotland from the serious economic damage that a hard Tory Brexit will do.
“And with the Brexit party pulling the Tories strings it is increasingly likely that the Tories – if they are re-elected – will go for a No Deal Brexit at the end of next year, damaging the economy even further.
“Only a vote for the SNP at this election is a vote to escape Brexit, protect jobs and living standards and put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands – not Boris Johnson’s.”
Earlier in the day the SNP leader addressed activists and voters at Arbroath Harbour alongside Dave Doogan, the party’s candidate for Angus.
