Motion · S6M-20782 · 11 Feb 2026
Closure of Kassy’s Café, End of an Era
The motion
That the Parliament notes the closure of Kassy’s Café in Cowdenbeath, which was named the Best Cafe in Central Scotland two years in a row; recognises that owners, Jim and Caroline Paterson, have been feeding people in Cowdenbeath for more than two decades with their prize-winning pies and warm hospitality; considers that the closure represents the end of an era and a huge loss to the High Street, and wishes Jim and Caroline well in their retirement.
