It is the 1970s, the old heavy industries have gone, the new name of the game is INWARD INVESTMENT. The Prospect of Scotland is an attempt to sell Scotland, not only as a place to invest for multi-national business, but as a great place for all those German, Japanese and American managers to shoot deer, play golf and ski on slushy snow.
