Motion · S6M-17251 · 22 Apr 2025

Newhaven Coastal Rowing Club and Edinburgh 900

Lodged by Miles Briggs (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 35 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes Newhaven’s story as one of the sea; recognises that Newhaven’s fishing, shipbuilding and coastal traditions have helped shape Edinburgh’s history; understands that as the Capital marks 900 years as a burgh, "Seafaring Spirit" brings the community together to celebrate its maritime past and keep its spirit alive; appreciates that a number of local community groups are coming together for the event providing exhibitions, music, story-telling and hands-on activities; acknowledges that Dame Katherine Grainger, Britain’s most successful female rower, will officially launch the boats, Troika and Bow Tow, and hopes that everyone involved has a successful and enjoyable day.
