BREXIT cost Scotland more than £3 billion last year alone, MSPs will be told in a statement, 10 years on from the referendum that saw the UK vote to quit the European Union.

A decade on from that vote, which saw the majority of Scotland vote to remain in the EU, Europe minister Stephen Gethins will tell Holyrood that “restoring our place at the heart of Europe” is key to the country’s future.
