Ah so the farmers should suck up Nat incompetence?
Does that also apply to the children should the suck it up too?
What about the rest of us suffering with poor economic performance because nobody wants to invest in the country whilst the Nats are in control?

Built in Scotland outwith the control of the Nats.
Nothing from the FM congratulating the workers at Rosyth, guess they shouldn't have the brass neck to expect to keep their jobs if Nats ever achieve the promised land.

Forgive my ignorance.
Are there seasonal workers in Scotland. I am assuming that the holiday industry might employ seasonal workers but is that all.
Further I assume many of these seasonal workers come from outside of Britain.
Thank you.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -

Magnificent!
These new carriers comming on stream by 2020 are another projection of British military power, and another very visible aid in the comming negotiation, given these will be deployed in the Straights Of Hormuz, through which much of Europe's oil supply comes. These straights are on the list published this week of choke points where conflict could throw the global economy into a tail spin.
As ever the Remaoners don't pick up on these things and still frame us a weak petetioner to be thrown scraps by Brussells. Yesterday BTW the German arm of Deloitte published a report concluding German car sector will be harmed more than it was in the financial crash if the Brexit deal hampers trade by way of barriers and tariffs.
Remoanrs and Nat Europhiles simply do not get Brexit at all, not in the slightest0 -
BTW can someone ask Sturgeon what she thinks of Brussels demanding further austerity on France yesterday as reported by Reuters?
Tory cuts = evil.
Brussells cuts = ?
This is a major story given the lefts anti austrrity narrative.0 -

Partly because the call for haggis-hunters has declined in recent years, mostly due to the breeding grounds being turned over to more profitable (read:bigger) produce like sheep and deer, also due to changes in diet and the encouragement of "healthy living".
And partly due to the driech cauld weather (that's cold & wet to non-natives) of ours which seems to put lots of even seasonal workers off.
The peely-wally-teethed midges dinnae help either.
On a more serious note, G@@gle is your friend.
Here is one piece to start you off:
