The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Leighton Library Trust, in Dunblane, on the re-opening of the Leighton Library on 25 May 2024; understands that the Leighton Library was founded in 1687, following the death of Robert Leighton, former Bishop of Dunblane, who bequeathed his books and money to build the library; congratulates the team of volunteers who have fundraised tirelessly to complete extensive restoration works to the library, and who will run it moving forward; recognises what it considers to be the value of this small, independent, library in preserving the history and heritage of Scotland; appreciates its ongoing work to share this with local schools as well as the wider public, and wishes it continued success for the future.
