A grandfather from Aberdeenshire is unable to leave Dubai following a row with neighbours over a Hogmanay party.

Ian Mackellar, 74, and his wife, of Newtonhill, had been visiting their daughter and young granddaughter in the United Arab Emirates when he went to complain about music noise.

However he was then reported to the police, accused of trespassing. The ongoing investigation means he is not allowed to leave the country.

His anxious wife Carol, 71, told BBC Scotland News: "We have no idea when Ian will be allowed to come home. The family are all very distressed."

The Foreign Office has said it is providing assistance.

Mrs Mackellar is hoping the authorities in Dubai will look on the case "favourably", as there had been "no evil intent" in what happened.

She said they had travelled over last month to help their daughter settle in the country.

However things turned sour when Mr Mackellar went to ask neighbours to turn down music on the night of 31 December as family members were trying to sleep.

He must be a shite Tory not getting a second job directorship like the rest of the corrupt b*****ds. 

His ministerial salary was a second job.

Would you quit your job if you couldn’t afford to live on the salary unless you had a better offer?
