60% of all casks used in Scotch Whisky production come from Kentucky.
Today, First Minister John Swinney visited Kentucky Cooperage and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel to see that connection first-hand and to keep up the momentum on removing tariffs on Scotch whisky.
I have consistently made the case for Scotch Whisky to be exempt from US tariffs, and President Trump has committed to removing them.
Now I’m in Kentucky to build on that progress, strengthen ties with the bourbon industry and back one of Scotland’s most iconic exports.
Wow! 🏴💙

A moment that many have waited a lifetime for. 🥹🏴❤️
@ScotRail are proud to have picked up two awards last night, one for innovation and one for public transport operator of the year. There was also recognition of the great work across Scotland's Railway and the emergency services after the Union Street fire so well done to all!
It was a brilliant evening for ScotRail last night, picking up two separate prizes at the Scottish Transport Awards in Glasgow. Our Managing Director Joanne Maguire dedicated the wins to our fantastic staff. 🚆👏
MEET THE BOSTON MAN BEHIND THE VIRAL TARTAN ARMY VIDEO 😅🏴
@MDMorrison82 and his wife awoke early one morning to the sound of bagpipes, as traveling Scottish World Cup fans descended on a Boston-area AirBnb across the street.
His viral video took on a life of its own and, in the process, sparked genuine bonds with his newfound neighbors 💙🤍
"Why does Scotland have the highest rates of local misinfo on X by a mile?" I think we know why. They want to prevent Scottish independence because they want to continue to steal our resources.
First Minister @JohnSwinney met Mayor of Boston Michelle Wu to strengthen cultural & economic links with one of the United States' most important cities.
The meeting was an opportunity to showcase Scotland as a place to live, work, study, do business & visit.

Watch as Boston Mayor, Michelle Wu, says that now she’s seen the Tartan Army, she understands “it took a Scot to send the British packing” in the city 251 years ago 🏴🇺🇸
