East Lothian Conservatives were delighted to welcome former leader of the Scottish Conservatives, The Baroness Goldie, MSP, as guest speaker at a Dinner held at The Walled Garden, Archerfield on 9th May.
The theme of the evening was the Union. Annabel spoke of her pride at being Scottish and also British. She pointed out that the United Kingdom is a strong partnership in the best sense of the word and explained how we pool and share resources, maximise opportunities and advantages, share the burden of risk, and have clout on the global stage. It is a positive aspiration to be part of the United Kingdom.
After her speech, Annabel answered a number of questions on a variety of subjects.
Cllr Michael Veitch, who gave the vote of thanks, commented, ‘It was a pleasure to welcome Annabel Goldie back to East Lothian and to hear her robust common sense case for why Scotland is best served by being part of the United Kingdom.’
