The state of police-owned houses in the most remote parts of the country is outlined in a report obtained by the Sunday Mail.
The Scottish Police Federation (SPF) has demanded action and warned rural communities could be left without a police presence – and fear it could lead to legal action if officers or their families get sick.
SPF chair David Threadgold said: “If I rented out a property of the standard some cops are living in, the council would be chasing me. I would almost be seen as a rogue landlord.”
