World Heritage Site Nomination for St Andrews
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Fife Council on its decision to nominate St Andrews as a world heritage site; notes that a campaign was launched in November 2004 to bring about this accolade; congratulates the many people from St Andrews and beyond who have long sought this recognition, and notes that St Andrews is the original ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, is the wellspring of much of the nation’s cultural identity, is arguably the best example of a planned pilgrimage town in western Europe, is home to Scotland’s oldest university and, most importantly, is seen as the undisputed cradle of the game of golf and a mecca for golfers from all over the world.
