Pope's visit to Scotland
THE Pope's visit to Scotland has boosted trade for a Cumbernauld firm.
Highland Galvanizers & Colour Coaters landed a six-figure contract to treat over 1,000 metres of fencing to be erected at Bellahouston Park, where Pope Benedict XVI was due to say mass to around 65,000 people later today (Thursday).
Paul McCafferty, sales director of Highland, said: "We're just one of a number of local businesses who have benefited from the Pope's visit.
