A MAN set fire to an Aberdeen a billboard displaying a BNP poster.
First offender Ewan Ross, drank alcohol to build up the “Dutch courage” to set fire to the poster in Aberdeen’s Great Northern Road, which advertised the policies of the British National Party.
The 25-year-old was seen walking backwards and forwards in front of the billboard on Aberdeen’s Great Northern Road before setting it alight at 10.50pm on Friday.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard the blaze had put the BNP £200 out of pocket in damages. Ross, whose address was listed in Aberdeen Sheriff Court papers as 33 Bonnyview Drive, Aberdeen, was admonished of the charge.
