SCOTLAND'S first medical cannabis production facility has secured £2 million in private investment to become one of the largest producers in the UK.
Hilltop Leaf founders Hamish Clegg, Neil Ewart, and Will Ewart have secured the money from UK investment house Traditum and a number of private investors. The equity injection will allow the company to make its first commercial sales and scale up its infrastructure for the specialist prescription market.
Hilltop Leaf – which holds a manufacturers "specials" licence and wholesaler dealer authorisation from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency – has already completed construction of an 11,000sqm production facility in southern Scotland.
