A German former gay porn star who is now a community linchpin is standing as the Scottish Family Party’s regional list candidate for the Highlands and Islands in the May Holyrood election.
Philipp Tanzer, 43, a former fireman in Durness, Sutherland, as well as an artist, hairdresser and massage therapist, raises awareness of the negative effects pornography can have on both children and adults. He is a popular figure in the most northwesterly village on mainland Britain, which has a population of 350.

Tanzer starred in several films under the name Logan McCree
“Not all my experiences with it have been negative though — I met some wonderful people.
