Peterhead Scottish Week

Lodged by Karen Adam (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament thanks the committed community champions whose hard work and dedication makes the Peterhead Scottish Week such a successful and much-loved event on Scotland's social calendar since 1962; notes that Scottish Week launched in 1962 with 10 towns across Scotland hosting week-long celebrations of Scotland, its people and its culture; further notes that the only town to continuously hold a Scottish Week celebration every year since 1962 is the Banffshire and Buchan Coast town of Peterhead, whose community spirit and pride in Scotland has seen the family-friendly celebration grow to what it has become today, a much-loved family tradition for the people of Peterhead, welcoming visitors from near and far to enjoy the very best of Scottish hospitality; wishes the dedicated volunteers success in the years to come, and encourages local communities across Scotland to celebrate Scotland in what it considers to be all of its glorious diversity.
