David Mundell meets Stewart, Scott and Andrew Laing at Ardnahoe Distillery, on the east coast of Islay.
SCOTTISH Secretary David Mundell met representatives of the Scotch Whisky Association and Diageo at the Caol Ila distillery on Islay yesterday (Thursday August 3) to discuss how the UK government is hoping to reduce export tariffs on Scottish produce.
Whisky is worth around £5 billion to the UK economy, and accounts for three-quarters of Scotland’s total food and drink exports.
