The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges that Scotland’s Kiltwalk takes place in Glasgow on 26 September 2021 and is the first physical Kiltwalk event in nearly two years after events planned in 2020 and early 2021 took place virtually in the wake of COVID-19; understands that Kiltwalkers are now lacing their boots and getting ready to raise money for Scotland’s charities that have been badly hit by the pandemic; notes that The Hunter Foundation will top-up all donations by 50%, meaning that for every pound raised, £1.50 will go towards charitable organisations across the country; understands that walkers taking part in Scotland’s Kiltwalk can choose from two distances, the 16.5-mile Mighty Stride, which starts at Glasgow Green and ends in Dumbarton, or the 3.5-mile Wee Wander, which starts and ends at the Riverside Museum and is aimed at families and children; further understands that each distance will offer a series of staggered starts, with limited numbers of participants to enable social distancing, and wishes all those taking part an enjoyable day and congratulates them on their fundraising efforts.
