The Scottish Liberal Democrats have been accused of attempting to mislead voters in the UK's most marginal seat by distributing a fake newspaper.

Campaigners for the party in Fife, Scotland, have been issuing a pamphlet called The North East Fife Gazette which claims to be a "Free Local Newspaper covering Cupar, East Neuk, Howe of Fife, Largo, Saint Andrews and Tay Bridge."
