PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Culture: Scotland (25 February 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps he is taking to promote Scotland internationally.

Asked by:
Torcuil Crichton (Labour)

Answer

Brand Scotland, the Scotland Office’s programme of international trade and investment promotion, is about selling Scotland to the world.

I have already visited Norway, Singapore and Malaysia, to promote our food and drink, energy, and defence sectors. Next month, I will be in Washington D.C and New York for the famous Tartan Week.

Closer to home, I was delighted to meet my Honourable Friend last week to discuss how Brand Scotland can support some of his constituents’ finest products - Harris tweed and Scottish seafood - and I commend his outstanding work in this area.
