Ms Millar, an accountant, became a high-profile figure in Scotland as a leading critic of transgender law reform.

Noel McIntyre is the other person arrested and charged.

Last year, police revealed they had “received a number of reports relating to potentially fraudulent activity”, with inquiries launched to “establish the full circumstances”.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland has now told The Scotsman: "A 49-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man have been arrested and charged with alleged fraud offences.

"They have been released on an undertaking to appear at court at a later date. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."
