That the Parliament congratulates Hands Up for Trad, the founder and principle supporter of the Scots Language Awards, on its recent #GiesAScotsPoemDay, in partnership with the Scots Poetry Library, which took place on 9 June 2023; understands that the event, which has been held over the last two years, encourages people to become involved in Scots through asking entrants to write, record or video themselves reciting a verse of their favourite Scots poem and to post it online using the hashtag, #GiesAScotsPoemDay; understands that many people rose to the challenge, posting an array of fabulous videos online from traditional Scots such as Burns, to modern Scots and to poems that people had written themselves, and that those entering included the Scots proponents, Lenniesaurus, Kathleen Jamie and Alistair Heather, and the Scots writer and advocate, Billy Kay; thanks Stand Up for Trad and the Scots Poetry Library for their brilliant work on this initiative, and encourages all to take a look at the talented poetry videos on social media channels, including Twitter.
