People typing in "Yes Scotland" yesterday were confronted with Yes Scotland, a company selling bed and breakfast and hotel breaks instead of the campaign's site.
The problem was caused because the domain name for the Yes Scotland campaign is almost identical to Boyd Calder's tourism website. With the listings site long-established, it was appearing above the political website on search engines.
