MAID OF THE LOCH TRUST

That this House congratulates the Loch Lomond Steamship Company on being awarded £950,000 through the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund, which is in addition to the £3.8 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund, to enable the refurbishment of the Maid of the Loch to proceed; notes that this award is from joint Scottish Government and COSLA investment which supports projects that engage and involve local communities in disadvantaged areas, tackle inequality and support inclusive growth; further notes that, once the regeneration of the Maid of the Loch has taken place it will once again sail on Loch Lomond, offering a new tourism attraction for Scotland; commends everyone involved with the long-running fundraising campaign for its determination and efforts; and wishes the Maid of the Loch and all its supporters every success in the future.
