MacRoberts were recently one of the supporters of the 'Scotland After The First Decade: The Possible Future Conference' which took place in Edinburgh on 23 September, at which Alex Salmond MP MSP, First Minister and Jim Murphy MP, Secretary of State for Scotland were the keynote speakers.
The conference attracted several other high profile speakers and delegates, and covered issues including government and economic growth; future opportunities - finding the Scottish niche amid globalisation; the future of the public sector in Scotland; the energy prospects for Scotland within CO2 constraints; parliament and people - democracy taking root; and US/Scottish relations - past, present, future.
