Fort George concerns

The Prime Minister has been warned that closing the barracks at Fort George would be a “betrayal of the Black Watch”.

SNP MP Drew Hendry also told Theresa May it would be a poor military decision and a “slap in the face” to the Highlands. He raised the issue at Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons.

A decision on Fort George’s future is expected before the end of the year as the Ministry of Defence moves to slash the size of its estate.
