MEP Alyn Smith with butcher Tommy Dixson at Mathiesons
Leading MEP Alyn Smith demonstrated his support for buying local and eating Scottish, by lending a hand at his local butchers. Alyn, who is on the European ParliamentĂ¢Â€Â™s powerful Agriculture Committee, was working behind the counter this morning (Saturday) at the Mathieson shop in Ratcliffe Terrace in Edinburgh. The move is being supported by both the NFU Scotland and Quality Meat Scotland (QMS). AlynĂ¢Â€Â™s aim is to demonstrate his backing for ScotlandĂ¢Â€Â™s independent butchers and Scottish farmers as the horse meat scandal continues to grow. With many Scottish consumers now deeply worried about the transparency of supply chains, shoppers are choosing to return to their local butchers, who they often know and trust.
