A group supporting Ukrainian refugees in Scotland delayed the relocation of 14 Ukrainian refugees from the Mercure Hotel in Livingston to Aberdeen on Friday evening.
Officers from the refugee resettlement team at the City of Edinburgh council appeared at the Mercure Hotel to give over a dozen Ukrainian refugees to ask with just three hours' notice if they would be willing to relocate to Aberdeen.
The refugees were described as ‘extremely stressed and upset’ by witnesses, believing they now had to move to having spent three weeks integrating into the West Lothian community, even taking English classes at West Lothian College.
