Graham Stewart looks at the future of the steel industry in Scotland.

Graham Stewart looks at the future of the steel industry in Scotland following Tata Steel's announcement that it is to cut 1200 jobs in the UK, with nearly 300 in Scotland.

Last month, Tata Steel announced it was to cut 1200 jobs in the UK - nearly 300 of them in Scotland. Clearly this is a sign that it's an industry in crisis and on the programme this week, Graham Stewart finds out if steel has a future in Scotland. He hears of the once glory days of the industry which employed more than 10,000 people at Ravenscraig alone. And he hears from some companies beating the odds and still thriving in steel.
