EmailIncredulous Scots couldn't believe their eyes today when the Scottish Conservatives unveiled their new "double cross" logo.
It replaces the tree adopted in 2006 when the party was trying to convince voters that it would pursue green policies.
The Westminster Tory government has largely shirked those commitments.
SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson said: "There's something strangely appropriate in the Tories choosing a 'double cross' to represent whatever it is they stand for, but I'm not sure it's what they were aiming for."
He said that it was understandable the Scots Tories want to distance themselves from Westminster but "a leopard can't change its spots."
