"It was great to see Tavish Scott in Gordon so soon after his election. On Tuesday afternoon, he vowed to "get out of the Holyrood bubble". That he has already done so shows how committed he is to listening to the concerns of businesses and communities nationwide. He was certainly well-received by this Inverurie business
"I look forward to welcoming Tavish to Aberdeenshire again in the near future."
Malcolm Bruce, Lib Dem MP for Gordon said:
"Tavish Scott has vowed to hit the ground running, and I was delighted to be able welcome him to Gordon today.
