Tim Eagle MSP
@TimEagleHI
@ScotTories MSP for Highlands and Islands Region. Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Fishing. 📧:[email protected]
It is an honour to represent the Highlands and Islands in the Scottish Parliament as the region’s newest MSP. I’m keen to hear from constituents so please get in touch if I can be of any assistance. To stay up to date, follow this page.

There was huge support at Moray Leisure Centre today for the ice rink threatened with closure. I’ve spoke to users of the facility and will be meeting with management tomorrow. I hope a solution can be found to secure the ice rink’s future.
My latest column in Fishing News 👇 I will continue to hold both of Scotland’s governments to account and fight to ensure fishing remains at the heart of our economy and coastal way of life.

Doing a Rishi in the Rain! Bit wet but continuing my mission to reach towns and villages across Moray to hear from locals. Fogwatt and Longmorn today.


Good to see @TimEagleHI isn’t letting the SNP rural affairs minister away with this. I wonder if it would have taken so long to visit the site if it was in the central belt? 🤔
When major events like wildfires happen, ministers should come out and show their support for the local community. Jim Fairlie was nowhere to be seen.
It is disappointing that it took an SNP Minister 20 days to visit the sites of the recent wildfires. Our fire and rescue service need more resources to help tackle future blazes and I'll be calling for that in Parliament. northern-scot.co.uk/news/minister-…
Transport links across the Highlands and Islands are poor, not least in Kintyre and Campbeltown, the latter of which hasn't had a ferry service for three years now. Residents deserve better than this. westcoasttoday.co.uk/news/msp-calls…
Labour's spiteful and unfair Family Farm Tax threatens Scottish farming. Let's get Keir Starmer to do another U-turn. You can sign our petition to scrap it here ✍️: stopthefarmtax.com
Earlier this week I saw for myself the devastation caused by the recent wildfires in Moray. I’ll be raising questions in Parliament about what can be done to tackle this serious issue that threatens people, wildlife and communities.
I welcome confirmation that weekend work will begin on Union Bridge in Keith but this should have already been in place. There are now no more excuses for further delays. I hope the completion date can be met for the sake of residents and businesses. pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/680342…
A ferry cancellation compensation scheme is something @ScotTories have long advocated for, so it’s welcome. However, only a handful of impacted islands have been included and £4.4m will quickly be evaporated. I’m calling for an expansion to the scheme. welovestornoway.com/index.php/arti…
What’s the saying - Fake people are like mirrors, they reflect what they think you want to see. When Farage takes our treasured NHS from us, when racism becomes normalised and when our economy crumbles then all will see what Reform truly are. I only hope that never happens!
Nigel Farage just rattled the cosy Westminster club - heckled by a panicked political elite at #PMQs. They're petrified of Reform UK.
Shocking new figures reveal 321 collisions on the A9 in the past four years. The SNP promised to dual the road in 2011, 14 years later they still haven’t delivered. We would deliver the upgrades they promised👇 scottishconservatives.com/policies/speed…
🚨 New data has revealed that over 16,000 Scottish jobs could be lost as a result of Labour's Family Farm Tax. Keir Starmer needs to u-turn and scrap his cruel tax now. ✍️ stopthefarmtax.com
Congratulations to @LHRSC on celebrating your 50th anniversary! Delighted to welcome this achievement with a motion in the Scottish Parliament recognising the occasion and all of the work that Lewis and Harris RSC do in the community. Here's to the next 50 years!

I have been concerned by the wildfires across the Highlands and Moray since the weekend. I want to praise the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service and the many gamekeepers who have bravely fought to control these fires. Now, @scotgov has to act and invest in wildfire prevention.
Seagulls are a growing problem across Scotland. People are being attacked, businesses impacted and councils having to shell out a fortune. The SNP and NatureScot need to buck up their ideas and deliver a licensing scheme that actually works.
I am grateful everyday for the dedication and sacrifice that our armed forces personnel give to keep us safe. I am privileged to represent so many members of our armed forces, including those based at RAF Lossiemouth. I thank those who serve and have served. #ArmedForcesDay

Robbie Moore comes from a farming background and has done far more to oppose Labour’s Family Farm Tax than anyone in Reform UK. Playing the man and not the ball tells us all we need to know about Reform and their brand of politics.
I am regularly reminded just how lucky we are to have Dame @andreajenkyns on our team 🙂
🏠 Scotland has a housing crisis because the Scottish Government isn’t building enough houses. 🙅🏽♂️ It’s not the fault of our excellent self-catering businesses, many of whom were represented outside Parliament yesterday. ❌ The government should stop using them as scapegoats.


Local businesses are worried about the introduction of the visitor levy - but the SNP don’t want to hear it.
