The event presented an opportunity to recognise the valuable contribution made by this influential group to the Scottish business economy and hear at first-hand about future plans for engagement. The minister’s visit included several cultural engagements: a visit to the ‘Scots Who Built New York’ exhibition which celebrates the iconic and historic buildings of New York built by Scottish architects; the promotion of the Scottish creative sector at a Scottish Music Festival in Bryant Park and attendance at the opening ceremony of the John Muir Exhibit on Ellis Island.
