MP Commends Turriff May Day Event

Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford has hailed Turriff’s annual May Day event as another great success for the town.

The SNP MP visited the event yesterday afternoon and spent time chatting with stallholders and local people. Commenting, Eilidh said:

“This was another highly successful May Day event and congratulations must go to the organisers. There was a real buzz about the town and I think it succeeded in attracting a huge number of visitors to Turriff and into local businesses.

“This event has been going for many years now and is a firm fixture on the North-east calendar. It is a tremendous example of what can be achieved when a community works together to promote their town.”

Dr Whiteford went on to visit Alvah Parish Hall at Linhead later that evening, where she was a guest of Alvah WRI and gave a talk on life as a Member of Parliament.
