Farmers demonstrate outside Scottish Parliament in call for funding

It comes after the chancellor announced changes to inheritance tax.

Hundreds of farmers have held a demonstration outside Holyrood, asking for increased funding for the sector.

It follows a protest by thousands last week in London against changes to the inheritance tax.

Scottish Government ministers have received £600m for their budget from Westminster, which farmers say now needs to go towards food production.

They warn businesses will go under, and food prices will rise if it isn’t.
