It seems my earlier post was strewn with errors – the Scottish Lib Dems are actually represented in the blogosphere and represented rather well.
First of all there is Stephen Glenn’s blog which is one I’d never come across before. There’s also Iain Dale’s blog, no, not that one, Iain Rubie Dale who I believe stood for election for the Lib Dems in the last election, somewhere in the South of Scotland unless I’m very much mistaken - which I probably am. There is also Bernard Salmon’s blog – he’s a former Lib Dem councillor based in Inverness and the fourth one is Fraser MacPherson a Lib Dem councillor in Dundee.
So, ruling out politicians, that, by my counting, that makes two Tory blogs (mine and The Tired Tory (who seems to have fallen asleep completely)), one Labour (Miss Dugdale), 3 Lib Dem (Stephen Glenn, Bernard Salmon and Iain Rubie Dale) compared to a whole host of Nat blogs.

Wonders if now is the right time to point out the other less frequent Lib Dem bloggers.
As someone clearly has done their research since earlier in the day.
Such as the Caron after whom the other Iain Dale's blog was named.

I'm a Lib Dem supporter, but not activist.
Also on the Conservative front there was Tory Heaven - although that's been very quiet recently.
And PS
nice to have you back
Scott
Don't forget the gruesome twosome - Cllrs Terry Kelly and Andrew Burns. Doesn't Ewan Aitken fly a Labour flag from the capital as well?
You can also add Caron's Musings http://carons-musings.blogspot.com/ to your list of Scottish Lib Dem blogs
aswas, I mean blogs not written by politicians, just looking for supporters/activists blogs etc. How could anyone forget Terry Kelly?!?!
It seems that it is Labour and the Tories in Scotland that are outnumbered on the world wide web!
Don't forget Dundee Lib Dem Councillor Fraser McPherson who blogs at: http://www.dundeewestend.com/
Yes, you are quite correct, I contested Cunninghame South for the Lib Dems in 2007 & 2003 and raised our vote, not by a great deal it has to be said, both times.
Please ignore my mentioning of Fraser as I see that you have already noticed him.
I can add another couple of Lib Dem bloggers:
Councillor Debra Storr

Although she currently works in Brussels Christine Gilmour is a Scot and a Lib Dem:

Finally there is an argument to inclue Graham Watson MEP (Leader of ALDE in the EP) as he was born & bred in Rothesay:

Alex Cole-Hamilton used to blog but seems to have stopped for the time being.
Enjoy!
