Bob Dalrymple, a whisky marketeer, has been selected for the Scottish seat of Stirling. One of the more winnable seats in Scotland, it has a Labour majority of under 5000.
He said:
"I am thrilled and honoured to be fighting Stirling. When Gordon Brown finally plucks up the courage to call an election, he will find that people want a change. As the government lurches from crisis to crisis, the Conservatives are showing that we are a government-in-waiting. I have high hopes of returning this seat to the Conservative fold."
