Rural summits

A SERIES of summits to discuss Scotland’s vital rural economy will get under way next week.

Rural Secretary Fergus Ewing will host the events, which will bring together all of the industry’s big players to discuss how to grow the sector and the impact of the Brexit vote.

Mr Ewing said: “I want to drive forward the rural economy and that’s why I am hosting a series of summits to identify the barriers to growth and recommend potential actions to increase investment and boost jobs.”
