The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the town of Huntly on being shortlisted in the middle population category, for under 10,000 residents, in the Creative Scotland’s Creative Place Awards, with a prize value of £100,000; notes that the Creative Scotland Awards aim to celebrate the value of creativity to the social and economic wellbeing, and reward the hard work and imagination, of smaller communities across Scotland; considers that Huntly has developed strong links with the creative community across the globe through its trailblazing Town is the Venue programme as well as several projects, including the town rebranding, which have been led by artists' initiatives involving the local community, and understands that the Creative Place Award would enable Huntly to create a roaming initiative, Walks of Life, bringing together physical walking initiatives with creative and cultural opportunities and that local arts groups and individual artists would be able to collaborate on a new initiative, Hospitality in Huntly and District.
