A cheery, or at least cheerier piece in today's Courier. Fiona Hyslop, Scotland's culture minister (I blogged about her here), appears to be softening her stance towards a Roman centre in Perthshire.
Speaking in the Parliament, culture minister Fiona Hyslop said bringing together Scotland's Roman heritage was "an interesting idea."
She said that "much work was being done" around the Antonine Wall — which spanned the country between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde — but agreed that many "would want such a centre to be located in Perthshire."
Late last month, the case for the creation of a new world heritage site capable of attracting thousands of new visitors to Scotland was set out by Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser.
It is not a U-turn, but at least it is a step in the right direction. Full story here.
