The meeting in Bonnybridge, near Falkirk, was set up by a US lawyer who is set to mount a legal fight against whisky bosses over claims a black fungus is blighting Scots homes.
Kentucky-based William McMurry is already battling bourbon distillers in America and is targeting a number of Scots towns in the next stage of his battle to win £450 million compensation for damage to property values allegedly caused by the spread of the harmless but unsightly fungus, which can cover the exterior of houses as well as gutters, patio decking, paving slabs and fences.
