U.S. event falls victim to the Scottish weather
The Scottish delegation heading for Knoxville, Tennessee to launch an initiative called Trees4TwoNations, which is aimed at linking cities in the United States with those of Scotland, has been unable to travel due to the weather.
The guest of honour at the event was due to be Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment, Richard Lochhead, but he has been left stranded in Inverness. One of the originators of the concept, Angus Crabbie of Trees4Scotland, was also unable to travel due to the closure of Edinburgh Airport. Read more...
