WHITEFORD CONGRATULATES TURRIFF SHOW ON SUCCESS

SNP Westminster candidate for Banff & Buchan Eilidh Whiteford has hailed this year’s ‘Homecoming’ Turriff Show as an outstanding success.

The SNP candidate visited the show and met with local businesses and industry representatives groups including NFU Scotland, the Scottish Tenant Farmer’s Association and the Scottish Rural Property & Business Association.

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson was also in attendance and toured the showground after holding a surgery for constituents.

Commenting, Eilidh Whiteford said:

“I am absolutely delighted for the show organisers that it has gone so well for them.

“The crowd seemed to be up on last year, helped no doubt by very good weather on the whole, especially on the second day.

“Turriff Show truly is one of Scotland’s premier events and I think this was reflected in the fact it was selected to be one of the official ‘Homecoming’ events this year.”
