The Palace of the Kip Valley Project
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the £19,100 that has been awarded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to the Palace of the Kip Valley project in Greenock; understands that this is an inter-generational oral history initiative that aims to bring older and younger members of the community together, including people with additional support needs, to explore, share and celebrate their heritage; recognises that it focuses on Ravenscraig Hospital, which was formerly known as a poorhouse and the Smithston Asylum; notes that the hospital has served the community since 1879 and was at one time referred to as "the Palace of the Kip Valley" due to the cost of its build and its luxury fittings, and hopes the project attracts people from across the community to allow them to engage with their heritage.
