Western Isles MSP Alasdair Allan made the case for an ‘Islands Deal’ at a reception at the Scottish Parliament.
He was joined last Wednesday evening by Liberal Democrat MSPs for Orkney and Shetland, Liam McArthur and Tavish Scott, who co-sponsored the event, and Islands Deal programme director David Amos.
Those in attendance heard how the three authorities have collaborated for two years to create the ambitious Islands Deal proposals.
