Whither the Scotland Office

Yet another attack on the Scotland Office from the Liberal Democrat's in Friday's Scotsman, this time from the party's new Shadow Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael, while it has also been branded a 'pointless relic' by a chap from the Taxpayers' Alliance.

The Scotsman also devoted an editorial to the subject, which you can read some of by clicking here, while Alan Cochrane launched a spirited defence of the former Scottish Office in his Telegraph column the following day, not least the departments entertainment allowance.
