Maggie Adamson, Glenfiddich Fiddle Champion

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Shetland’s Maggie Adamson on retaining the Glenfiddich Fiddle Championship, which took place at Blair Castle in Perthshire; understands that winning the championship is considered to be the highest of accolades by competitors as only those who have been successful in other fiddle competitions are invited to take part; believes that the retention of such a trophy is a just reward for the hours of practice required each week to perform at this level; welcomes what it considers is the continuing strength of the Scottish traditional music scene, particularly among Scotland’s young people; considers the recognition of Shetland's distinctive style of playing and of the tunes to be a vital part of the resurgence, and encourages young people to consider following Maggie Adamson's fine example.
