Long before my seven-plus years in this Parliament began, Scottish Government ministers were promising investment in the long overdue—and, some would say, forgotten—development of the A75, the A77 and rail links from Ayr to Stranraer. In 2010, Alex Salmond committed to significant transport infrastructure around the port of Cairnryan. Here we are, 13 years later, with a commitment from the UK Government to develop the A75 Euro route. Will the Scottish Government now focus on developing an A77 development plan, along with a plan for the wholly inadequate rail link from Ayr to Stranraer?
