Plans by Diageo to cut up to 900 jobs in Scotland over the next two years have been denounced.

The jobs will go under a restructuring that will see the closure of the drink group’s Port Dundas distillery in Glasgow and a packaging plant at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. Diageo said the job losses would be offset by the creation of about 400 posts through the £86m expansion of a packaging plant at Leven, Fife.
