Lodged by Emma Roddick (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 13 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the award of a professorship to Professor Ingrid Mainland, originally of Rousay, in Orkney, by the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI); recognises that this award has come in recognition of Professor Mainland's multiple research achievements since joining UHI in 2009, including helping to establish archaeological science as part of the university curriculum and spearheading the growth of archaeological science masters programmes at UHI; notes the importance of Professor Mainland's work to Scotland's Northern Isles in particular, such as research into the sustainability of farming and food production in Viking and Late Norse Scotland, research into fauna from the Ness of Brodgar on Orkney, and research into the hall and farmstead at Skaill, and congratulates her on this fantastic achievement.
