Overview

• Scott Wyllie, 40, pleaded guilty to a statutory breach of the peace for a late-night call on November 1, 2024, telling staff at the Cladhan Hotel, “get these people out… we’re coming.”
• He was sentenced to 120 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £200 to the night worker who took the call.
• Sheriff Paul Ralph condemned the threats but said the phone call’s limited reach made it less serious than online incitement, citing Lucy Connolly’s 31‑month sentence for posts urging arson.
• The call was diverted to the Park Hotel reception, where the worker recorded it and contacted police, leading to Wyllie’s arrest.
• The Cladhan Hotel has become a protest flashpoint following the June rape conviction of asylum seeker Sadeq Nikzad, and authorities continue to criminally address threats against the site.
