As we saw in the Perth and Kinross-shire thread she was also canvassing for Luke Graham there (think him and Bowie were two Scottish MPs she was pretty close to) This seat was always going to be a tight race. Bowie was May’s PPS, so this visit was presumably long - planned. May seems to like to keep in with the Scottish MPs. She does have them to thank for giving her a majority, after all. She didn't show her thanks at the time - she cosied up to the DUP instead.

This is true, although there were a couple who tended to go more to the Boris faction if I recall correctly like Ross Thomson and Colin Clark, probably mainly because they were more hardline on Brexit than the Scottish Tory mainstream

I liked Bill Grant (or at least the idea of Bill Grant) despite not sharing his politics - he put himself forward for candidacy to help the cause, clearly didn't expect to win and made no secret of it but was clearly a committed MP in the two years, and stood down afterwards. Him and Duguid seemed to be pretty assiduous and not so easily categorised into the wets and dries like the others.
