THE SNP have accused the UK Government of putting Scotland's energy security "at risk" by not permitting new drilling licenses.

It comes after The Scotsman heard from Offshore Energies UK (OEUK), an industry body formerly known as Oil and Gas UK, about how the UK's key supply routes are vulnerable in a geopolitical era of rising uncertainty.
