I too have complained to the BBC over these comments. It is the sort of nationalistic crap that the Scots like to use, particularly with respect to the English. It is, in fact, racism of the highest order and really should not be tolerated in the Media, particularly the BBC who are supposed to be aware of this sort of thing.
Had the report stated "Grampian Police officers breathalysed the woman, believed to be Black, before she was arrested," there would be uproar!
It was unnecessary to the article and as such warrants a complaint. It's very much like saying to the (probably mainly Scottish) readers who would read between the lines... "if it had been a Scottish girl then none of you would have been inconvenienced on your holiday trip."
No wonder everyone on this website hates journalists!
