The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Westerton Farmers, based near Laurencekirk, on its nomination in the North East Scotland Food and Drink Awards 2025; understands that the nomination is in the category of Best Food and Drink Tourism Experience for its Long Table Feast events; notes that the awards recognise north east Scotland’s growing and nationally significant food and drink sector, and are delivered by Opportunity North East in partnership with Aberdeenshire Council; understands that food and drink is Scotland’s largest manufacturing sector, with the north east contributing an impressive 20% of Scotland’s total output, generating an annual turnover of £2.4 billion and supporting over 22,000 jobs across manufacturing, production, agriculture, and seafood processing; recognises that Westerton Farmers has been running the family farm since 1920; understands that it works hard to farm in an environmentally friendly, sustainable way, with lots of seasonal fresh and local produce on offer all year round, and wishes it every success for the final.
