Mid-Scotland & Fife Conservative MSP Murdo Fraser has welcomed news of drinks firm Diageo’s announcement of £1 billion into its whisky production in Scotland, including warehouse expansion in Fife. MSP Murdo Fraser said: “It is welcome news that Diageo is investing £1 billion into Scotland’s whisky industry across the country over the next five years, including investment here in Fife. “This is a massive commitment and will benefit the whole Scottish economy and in particular the Fife area. This underlines the hard work and dedication of staff in Fife to see this investment in the local area. Diageo’s investment will help further expand the Scottish whisky industry. “Whisky is famous across the globe and helps to market Scotland to the rest of the world. As well as the export market, whisky distilleries and visitor centres contribute millions of pounds to the Scottish economy with tourists coming to Scotland to taste our famous and popular whisky brands.”
