Tribute to Neilston Pipe Major, Iain MacDonald

Lodged by Tom Arthur (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the tribute to Iain MacDonald, who was described as a "pioneer of piping", spending more than 45 years as Pipe Major of the Neilston and District Pipe Band and sadly passed away in 2020; recognises the work carried out by Matt Drennan to erect a bench in honour of his friend, assisted by the Band members, Owen Finnigan and Russell and Cameron Mechan, who cleared the site and laid the foundations; notes the particular design to remember Iain with a piper in silhouette and a Saltire on either side of him; thanks those involved for their kind and thoughtful work, and hopes that this memorial bench will continue to be a place of remembrance for Iain’s contribution to the community.
