UNION flags have been taken down at an embattled Scottish shipyard after complaints from the Alba Party.
Ferguson Marine, which is at the centre of the so-called ferries fiasco, has denied they were influenced in their decision by the complaints of the party’s general secretary Chris McEleny who made repeated public calls for the removal of the flags.
The flags – which McEleny said replaced Saltires – were taken down on Tuesday with the Scottish Government-owned yard claiming it was because they had ripped after they were bought under a month ago.
