The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Jackie Ross, of Doric Books, on winning the Cultural Award of the Inspiring Aberdeenshire Awards 2023; recognises that, since retiring from her career as a teacher, Jackie has dedicated her time and energy to bringing attention to the Doric language in schools and communities; applauds Doric Books for producing six picture books, with the aim of helping children and young people connect with their linguistic heritage; understands that these books are currently found in over 30 shops across the north east, and can also be sourced from its website; commends Doric Books for the many ways that it connects with the local community, including Doric Rhyme Time for Bairns, as well as Doric Blethers in care homes and community groups, and wishes Jackie success in her efforts to generate appreciation of Doric.
