 | 'A leading Tory councillor and former paratrooper has seemingly gone against the policy of his party by backing proposals that would effectively mark the end of the King's Own Scottish Borderers in the regimentŐs present form. But Alasdair Hutton, convener of Scottish Borders Council, has denied the views he will express in a forthcoming television documentary are at odds with party policy claiming he supports the proposals from a military, rather than a political, viewpoint.' Bill Chisholm in the Scotsman, 9 th September 2004. |  |
