We know that our national heritage remains a core attraction for international and domestic visitors, and I am pleased Dunfermline is exploring how its heritage assets and visitor attractions can work together to boost footfall as well as benefit the local community.
Heritage and Tourism are devolved matters, and the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport has had no discussions with the Secretary of State for Scotland, or with Fife Council, on the Heart of Dunfermline feasibility study for the city. We welcome, however, the engagement of the National Lottery Heritage Fund in discussions on the plans.
