The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the success of the recent production by Braw Clan, a Scots language theatre company based in Clydesdale, which has the aim of bringing the Scots language to everyone who wishes to hear, speak and enjoy Scots, one of Scotland’s three national languages; understands that the production, Secret Wrapped in Lead, written by Martin Travers, is about the memoir of Dorothy Wordsworth, Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, AD 1803, and is about Dorothy accompanying her famous brother on a tour of Scotland in which she hopes to collect blood-curdling myths, legends and curiosities; thanks Braw Clan for all its work to promote and further the Scots language and to tell the stories of strong female Scottish characters from Scotland’s history, including, it understands, through its Soup and a Story sessions, where the team work in partnership with lunch clubs for older people to provide a free lunch and Scots story by a professional actor, and wishes Braw Clan every success for the future.
