That the Parliament congratulates Stonehaven Horizon on being awarded a Certificate of Recognition at the Beautiful Scotland awards for its efforts to improve, enhance and protect biodiversity in the local community; notes that the Horizon Project now has around 50 volunteers, tending to over 200 floral displays throughout the local area; recognises that the Stonehaven Horizon project won the Beautiful Scotland Discretionary Year of Stories Award in 2022, for which the Mearn’s Writers, a local writing group, chronicled the town's much-loved characteristics to form a walking tour leaflet for visitors; notes that, in 2021, the Stonehaven Horizon project also won the Haddington 700 Award for its Burns Memorial Garden restoration project, created in memory of Rabbie Burns, who had links to Stonehaven; applauds the ongoing hard work and commitment of volunteers who generously give their time to keep Stonehaven flourishing, and wishes Stonehaven Horizon every success going forward.
