Almost all of Scotland’s ports are owned by foreign pension funds or tax-exile billionaires.
A Sunday Mail investigation has revealed the facilities at Grangemouth, Leith, Rosyth, Methil and Burntisland, and Dundee are owned by the Canadian government’s pension fund, which made an astonishing £18 billion last year.
The key infrastructure assets helped the Public Sector Pension Investment (PSP) board, which owns Forth Ports, to rocket in value by more than 18 per cent.
