That the Parliament congratulates the 23 young people and three adults awarded Heritage Hero Status, 18 of which are gold awards, by Archaeology Scotland for the Loinmuie Project, which is a forgotten community of Glen Muick; notes that the initiative led to hundreds of descendants of the people who lived there more than 200 years ago being traced, and commends them for their hard work over 18 months of investigations.
