The motion
That the Parliament commends the Old Royal Station in Ballater on winning the Project of the Year title at the 2019 Aberdeen Society of Architects Dinner and Awards; thanks the Prince’s Foundation on its success in restoring the building, following a fire in 2015; acknowledges that, as a result of the renovation, the station, which was built in 1866 to serve Queen Victoria on her visits to Balmoral, provides the community with beautiful dining and tea rooms and a visitor centre; notes that its architecture and design is largely sympathetic to the station's original detail; recognises the positive impact that this has had on tourism and the people of Deeside, and wishes everyone at the station many more decades of success.
