Restore Scotland candidate Brian Nugent has criticised the First Minister’s comments on a fishing deal, which he claimed “betrayed a lack of knowledge” on the issue.
Mr Nugent, who is standing in Shetland, said Nicola Sturgeon’s comments about the failure to strike a deal with Norway, where “not only boring but … plain wrong”.
As previously reported, the UK and Norway failed to reach a deal on fishing rights last week.
But while Ms Sturgeon echoed concerns raised by the UK industry, saying the Tories “Brexit betrayal” was “utterly shameful”, Scottish fishermen have taken a different stance.
