The motion

That the Parliament celebrates the reopening of the Scottish Crannog Centre at its new location in Dalerb, Perthshire, on the shores of Loch Tay; acknowledges the resilience and dedication of the centre's team following the devastating fire in 2021 that destroyed the original site; notes that the new site is significantly larger and positioned on the opposite side of Loch Tay, offering expanded facilities, including a state-of-the-art building that houses the museum's invaluable collection that survived the blaze, alongside a new café and bookshop; highlights the museum's centrepiece, a living, working Iron Age village, as a significant cultural and educational asset, and commends the support of the Scottish Government, which contributed £2.4 million in funding towards the development of this new site, underscoring what it sees as its commitment to preserving and celebrating Scotland's rich historical heritage.
