MP proclaims Scottish Week Resounding Success

Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford has proclaimed the 50th Peterhead Scottish Week an outstanding success.

The MP was speaking after joining the huge crowd of people on the town’s links and South Road to watch the Red Arrows perform their aerobatic display above Peterhead Bay last night and the Finale Fireworks Display this evening. Dr Whiteford also helped secure the Red Arrows for the Scottish Week Committee after an initial approach to get them to come to Peterhead was rebuffed.

Commenting, Eilidh said:

“The organising committee of Peterhead Scottish Week deserve tremendous thanks for putting on a great show for the 50th anniversary event.

“I have attended seven of the various events taking place around the town over the course of the week and they all seem to have been extremely well-supported.

“I’m delighted for the organising committee. There has been a real buzz about the town this week and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to the 51st Scottish Week next year.”
