MAID TO SAIL CAMPAIGN

Motion Text

That this House thanks Bill Paterson, Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain for joining the campaign to restore the Maid of the Loch; understands that they have created a short film about the famous ship as part of a fundraising campaign to restore it to its former glory; notes that the Loch Lomond Steamship Charity will be granted £3.8 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund if it can raise £1 million on its own; and believes that the help of all three of the film's creators is a huge boost to the community's efforts and to the volunteers who are tirelessly working to ensure that the Maid is fit to Sail Loch Lomond once more.
