MICHAEL Gove has left Scots in disbelief after turning up in an Aberdeen nightclub.
The Tory minister has taken on many roles in his career, from education secretary to chief whip.
But now the Cabinet Office Minister is on the lookout for a new role – and it's going about as well as the previous ones did.

Gove, who is originally from the Granite city, was seen freaking out Scottish revellers after he apparently turned up to local pub O'Neills by himself to showcase his dance moves, the Daily Recorded reported.
The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster raised more than a few eyebrows though after he was invited to the club Bohemia upstairs by those in the pub who were reportedly shocked to see him there.
A confident, if slightly tipsy, Gove strutted onto the dancefloor and proceeded to dance exactly how you think he would.
He was seen waving his arms, holding up invisible ceilings, twisting his hips and making every uncle at a Scottish wedding look good in comparison.

While his moves were questionable at best, the Tory was apparently bought drinks all night, according to the Record.
But some folk weren’t too impressed with his skills – or lack thereof.

User Laura said: “You won’t see a more cringey video on Twitter today..! Michael Gove dad-dancing upstairs at O’Neill’s in Aberdeen last night!”

Another simply added: "I need eye bleach."
To be fair to Gove, his visit has still gone down better than the last time his boss popped up to Scotland.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
