“Scotland is renowned for being an innovative nation,” says Kevin Ferguson, an operations and projects director working at the remote but busy Kishorn Port in the west Highlands.
“That is born out of a can-do attitude, plus persistence and resilience for overcoming challenges and an ability to work out best solutions to a problem,” he says. “I’d say Scottish people have that entrepreneurial mindset. When you look at all the innovations that have come out of Scotland, it’s amazing for such a small country.”
