WORKERS in the Scotland’s sector have railed against the re-imposition of a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland funding.

as more than 100 people gathered outside the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday to denounce the funding reduction, which First Minister Humza Yousaf said was down to the strained finances of the Scottish Government.

“It's impacted the Welsh Government's budget, impacted the UK government's budget, and the Northern Irish government budget too. So we are facing extreme financial constraints in relation to our budget. “And what I've made abundantly clear, and Angus Robertson has made it clear, is that subject to Parliament approving the 2024/2025 budget, we will make sure that money is restored in full.

“This is not just a hobby. This is our career, our jobs. We deserve to be properly paid for what we do. We deserve to be seen as the lucrative investment that we are for this country.”
