The motion

That the Parliament congratulates teenager, Ronan Anderson, on his success in having his design chosen for Clackmannanshire's official tartan; understands that Ronan has created the winning design after the competition to create Clackmannanshire's first tartan drew to a conclusion on 3 March 2023; notes that the competition was organised by Provost Donald Balsillie and facilitated through The Futures Institute at Dollar Academy (FIDA) and was open to learners from across S1 to S6 in the Wee County; notes that young people from Alva, Lornshill and Dollar academies took on the challenge with 16 entries considered by a judging panel, which included the provost, textile designer and weaver, Claire Hunter, and the bespoke kilt-maker, Lesley Thornton; further notes that Ronan's design, which includes five colours inspired by the Wee County's geology, wildlife, social history and industrial heritage, was picked as the winner unanimously, and understands that Ronan will have the exciting opportunity to develop his design with Claire Hunter and see it submitted for registration.
