The motion

That the Parliament welcomes VisitScotland’s plans to promote the stunning Snow Road between Cockbridge and Tomintoul in Speyside; understands that the route, devised by the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA), will see the Cockbridge to Tomintoul road feature prominently and promoted as "one of the most scenic journey’s in the country"; notes that VisitScotland has drawn on the success of the North Coast 500, which aimed to boost trade and tourism across the Highlands; further notes that a viewing point in the form of a roofless stone observation hut is to be installed at the old quarry site near Tomintoul and titled the Language of Stone; commends the CNPA’s commitment to work with local businesses and communities to ensure that local ventures reap the benefits of this new visitor experience, and wishes all involved the best of luck in driving forward the scheme.
