Senior SNP MP Ian Blackford is facing calls to apologise after he shared a expletive-filled tweet encouraging people not to travel to Scotland.

The party's Westminster leader shared a picture of an edited road sign at the border which read: "We're shut. F*** off."The photoshopped image was posted in response to news that author Neil Gaiman travelled from New Zealand to his house in Skye.
