Eday's Refurbished War Memorial Named Best in Scotland by Royal British Legion

Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament celebrates Eday’s newly refurbished war memorial being awarded the title, Best in Scotland, by the Royal British Legion; understands that Moira Byers, who headed the project, travelled to Edinburgh to pick up the award at the Lady Haig Poppy Factory on 5 September 2025; acknowledges that the refurbishment of the memorial was a joint effort, with John G Corse Funeral Directors being responsible for redoing the gold lettering and gilding, while Aaron Garson, a resident of Eday, painted and cleaned the sandstone steps; congratulates Moira on all her work to win this award, and thanks her for restoring the memorial, which is a fitting tribute to those killed in the First and Second World Wars.
