Scotland boasts some of the best fishing in Europe. The value of angling to the rural Scotland is significant.

I recently launched my campaign with Doddie Weir OBE, calling on the Scottish Government to give people living MND automatic access to the Blue Badge scheme 

Passive smoking in outdoor places still has a significant impact on our health, despite the smoking ban being enacted in Scotland over a decade ago.

I will campaign for a digitally connected in the Scottish Borders. The Borders is crying out for faster more reliable Borders. I will fight hard to see superfast broadband come to every part of the Borders.

I will campaign to skill-up young Borderers with the skills they will need for the future. I want them to have the skills the Borders needs to grow and for young people to play a significant part in the Borders future.

I will campaign for improved infrastructure in the Scottish Borders. Roads are simply not fit for purpose and the Borders lacks the infrastructure required to attract business. I will work hard to ensure our roads are improved and we have business-friendly infrastructure including dualling the A1. I want to see the Borders grow and we need the infrastructure in place to do that.
