“Following ongoing issues at Linlithgow Loch, I met with Historic Environment Scotland (HES) to discuss this further.
“Before this meeting, I contacted HES following reports of dead fish in the Loch. At this meeting HES advised that the events have impacted one species of fish at one location, and they are continuing to work with SEPA to identify the cause of this.
“I was pleased to hear that HES will be continuing to work on the issues at the Loch and have recently, together with SEPA and Stirling University’s Forth ERA Partnership, introduced a monitoring water buoy to provide information on the Loch in real time. HES are also continuing their information gathering work to better understand the issues at the loch and are working with relevant bodies to improve the Loch.
“I will continue to update my Constituents on my work on this important matter.”
