To ask the Scottish Executive how the grant of £1,335,338 awarded to VisitScotland through the European Regional Development Fund Programme 2007-13 for Lowlands and Uplands Scotland, under Priority 4 rural development funding, will be utilised.
Answer
The recently awarded European Regional Development Fund Programme grant award for Lowlands and Uplands Scotland (and a similar award for the Highlands and Islands programme areas) will be used by VisitScotland to contribute to the delivery of the Homecoming Scotland 2009 project. The target is to generate a £40 million return on investment as a direct result of Homecoming Scotland 2009. It is not yet possible to identify how much of the funding will be allocated to communities, organisations or rural communities, nor which specific groups will benefit directly from the funding.
