Margaret Ferguson, Iolaire 100 Portrait Collection
The motion
That the Parliament praises Margaret Ferguson on the dedication and skill that she has shown in creating the Iolaire 100 portrait collection; understands that each of the 100 portraits, one for each year leading to the centenary, represents a sailor present on the Iolaire at the time of the disaster; notes that Margaret devoted two years to creating these; recognises that this formed an important and impactful part of the recent centenary commemorations on the Isle of Lewis; welcomes the opportunity to view some of the collection on 12 March 2019 in the Burns Room (Committee Room 1) at the event, The Darkest Dawn, the story of the Iolaire tragedy, and commends Margaret on the legacy of remembrance that she has created.
