Legacy Paper
I would like the successor committee to conduct an investigation into the value, or otherwise, of the so-called tartan day. I will not go on about that at length just now. I am in favour of building good relationships between Scotland and the United States of America, but I question whether tartan day is the best way in which to build such relationships. I hope that the successor committee will take that matter up.
