Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP, West of Scotland) has today welcomed the proposals that are to be laid down in parliament by Alasdair Morgan MSP for a long-distance coastal path around Scotland .
Mr Morgan first raised the idea of a national coastal route with the former Scottish Executive in 2005 - since then he has pursued the issue researching other long-distance routes and found that Scotland already has many coastal paths which could be joined together into a unified long-distance route.
Mr McMillan said:
"I am pleased to welcome Alasdair Morgan's proposals particularly in relation to the potential effect they could have on Inverclyde. Inverclyde has a wonderful coastline and beautiful scenery and whilst it is utilised by some it has massive potential as an untapped natural resource.
"The proposals would help open up the coastline by not only making it more accessible to locals but also by making it inviting to tourists. This would provide a welcome boost to Inverclyde at a time of economic turmoil."
