Local MSP John Swinney is to hold surgeries on Friday, 7 December, in Highland Perthshire. “I always enjoy getting out and about in my constituency as it is an excellent opportunity for constituents to raise any queries or concerns directly with me. I am looking forward to visiting towns on Highland and East Perthshire to hear what issues are closet to people’s hearts at the moment,” he told Comment.

The MSP has held regular surgeries across his constituency, which stretches from Killin to Brechin in Angus, since becoming Westminster MP in 1997, and Holyrood MSP in 1999.
