Anyone think similar measures will be announced for the good folks of Morayshire???!!!
Morayshire will be fine. It is natural and good that the local folk stuck up for Kinloss and Lossie...just doing their job. But the effect on the local economy will be transient and minimal.
Moray has all sorts of good stuff coming its way. The technological advances in agriculture (especially soft fruit farming) coupled with the climate change and the global demand for food is generating a boom in Scottish farming, with a subsequent knock on effect on the value of land. The coastline is ripe for renewable energy production...in which Scotland intends to become a net exporter. Moray has benefitted for years from the overspill from Aberdeenshire (which has enjoyed the biggest increase in property values anywhere in the UK) and to the West you have Inverness, with all the regioanl development going on there.
Scotland never had the crazy property surge evident down South, so Scottish property is very affordable compared with elsewhere in the UK.
For all those reasons (and more) the Moray coast will do very well over the next 20 years. Check out the BBC website today if you are sceptical
