Rob Roy's birthplace sold

Further to the story on November 19, Rob Roy’s birthplace has been sold for 475,000 pounds to a private bidder.

Richard Lochhead said: “This sale was carried out without enough time for the issue to be debated or for the public to have any say in the future of a site they own”.

What are our priorities here? How can we spend 430 million on Holyrood and not be able to forego half a million to maintain public ownership of an important heritage site?

Shame on the Scottish Executive!
