'Forcing Scottish exports through England is how the UK controls and takes credit for our salmon (£1.25bn), whisky (£5.6bn) and renewables (£6.1bn). Scotland is the UK’s export powerhouse, but you won’t hear this from a unionist.'

The port used doesn't determine where exports are from.
Whisky and salmon combined acount for about 0.75% of UK exports.
Last year renewables exports were about £1.5b, not £6.1b, and relied on subsidies.
