Countryside Alliance Scotland Stages Rural Oscars

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Countryside Alliance Scotland after it staged its annual Rural Oscars awards ceremony on 13 March 2024, at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh; notes that the event is now in its 17th year and that it recognises rural businesses across five categories, including Best Local Food, Best Butcher, Best Pub, Best Rural Enterprise and Best Village Shop/Post Office, that go that extra mile within their communities, supporting the local economy as well as championing local goods and services; acknowledges that the awards attracted thousands of nominations from around the country that were eventually whittled down through a public vote before the final few were honoured at the Scottish finalists’ awards ceremony, and wishes the winners of each category every success when they represent Scotland in the national champions reception at the House of Lords in June 2024, where they will compete against other finalists from Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
