Stevenson Enters Local Landscape in Scottish Parliament Exhibition

Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has entered the local landscape of Crovie, Banffshire in a landscape exhibition in the Scottish Parliament. The exhibition was organised by Scottish Environment LINK as part of Scottish Environment week where MSPs were asked to name one of their favourite landscapes.

The event was organised to raise awareness of the importance of Scotland’s urban and rural landscapes and the need to ensure that they are adequately protected. The exhibition showcased landscapes from across Scotland including classic mountain chains, town and city landmarks, beaches and urban green spaces.

Commenting after the event, Mr. Stevenson said:

“I am delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit in the Scottish Parliament one of Banff & Buchan’s and indeed one of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes. With its rich green pastures, sandy beaches and stunning coastlines Banff & Buchan boasts a number of magnificent scenes of which Crovie is just one.

“In selecting one spectacular landscape in Banff & Buchan I was spoilt for choice. I settled eventually on Crovie, the jewel of the Banffshire Coast. Crovie is reminiscent of a gentler age due to most of the village being inaccessible to vehicles.

“This exhibition is a wonderful initiative that highlights the importance of Scotland’s landscapes plus the need to protect and conserve them for the future.

“It has been proven that beautiful landscapes like Crovie improve our health and wellbeing and our general quality of life. They are also crucial to our local economy in Banff & Buchan - a key reason that tourists visit the area. It is vital that we promote our superb landscapes and preserve these valuable attributes for future generations.”
