[QUOTE="Bob the beef, post: 6619608, member: 20420"] Correct. This money was paid to the UK government by the EU because Scotland’s payment per hectare was the second lowest in the whole EU after the last CAP reform. It was meant to come straight to Scottish farmers at that point but David Cameron’s defra minister at the time syphoned it off and spread it across the whole UK. The NFUS at the time, lead iirc by Alan Bowie blew a bit of hot wind and then let it drop. This money was designed for the upland farmers and no one else. It would be a catastrophe if the snp now use it to augment the lfass payment to save their own blushes. That was not what Jim Walker fought for [/QUOTE]
