British Aluminium’s deci¬
sion to invest £37m. in an
aluminium reduction plant in
the Invergorden area and the
Government’s plans for a
new statutory Scottish Tour¬
ist Board, are two of the pro¬
jects highlighted in the Scot¬
tish Development Depart¬
ment’s report for 1968, pub¬
lished by H.M.S.O. (price
12s 6d).
“The announcement of the
British Aluminium Com¬
pany’s decision was of the
greatest significance to the
Highlands and to Scotland
generally, the report states,
“in that it promised the
establishment of a large
manufacturing industry far
away from the traditional in¬
dustrial belt of central Scot¬
land.”
More than 2,000 men are
expected to be employed at
the peak of construction, the
report adds, and the plant
itself is expected to provide
about 650 jobs.
“As well as helping to re¬
dress the under-representa¬
tion of manufacturing indus¬
try outside central Scotland
the aluminium reduction
plant confirms in the most
modern guise and on a scale
three times greater than
hitherto, the presence of an
industry which has been in
Scotland for many years,” the
report states.
Dealing with the new Scot¬
tish Tourist Board, the
report says this will “ have
wide powers to encourage the
promotion and development
of tourism in Scotland and
will be responsible both for
the research which will guide
the policy and for the pub¬
licity through which the
image of Scotland will be

The new Board will also
administer in Scotland the
hotel development incentive
scheme, any selective finan¬
cial aid to particular projects
and, when introduced, the
registration and classification
of tourist accommodation.
The establishment of the
new Board is described as
marking “the beginning of a
new era” for Scottish tour¬
ism.
