From the Scottish Government today and, of course, utterly ignored by ‘your’ media in Scotland:
A Scottish Government-backed deep-water terminal which will support future renewable energy developments and cruise ship opportunities on the Western Isles has been officially handed over to operators by Deputy First Minister Shona Robison.
Ms Robison toured the new Stornoway deep-water terminal to mark the end of the construction phase. It has delivered a new terminal with a cruise ship berthing facility capable of accommodating vessels more than 1,000 feet long (330 metres) and a new deep-water dock for large cargo vessels, to allow the berthing and unloading of components for renewable energy and other key industry sectors.
The project – which cost £49 million in total – is being supported with £33.7 million of Scottish Government funding to help boost the island’s economy. This initiative involved partnership working between the Scottish Government, Stornoway Port Authority, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the local authority Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, and Visit Scotland.

As you said John no mention of it but very ready to put onus on Scotland regarding the PO scandal.

I fail to see how a visit to a not yet completed terminal is big news. Unless it is to highlight that this phase of the work, announced 7 years ago, was due to be completed 2 years ago.

The infrastructure of Scotland IS big news in Scotland and this being positive it should be featured in what is meant to be “our” Meeja!!! Any other nation but Scotland is allowed to big up their achievements!!! Enough IS most certainly enough we all need to vote for the largest party for Independence, The SNP and get the hell out of this mentally deranged union of chaos!!!

Meant to add this.
Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch said the SNP should ‘stop whining’ after the UK Government decided not to extend legislation to Scotland that would pardon sub-postmasters caught up in the Horizon scandal
