That the Parliament congratulates Newtyle butcher, James Pirie and Son, on winning the top prize at the World Championship Scotch Pie Awards; recognises that this is the fourth time they have come out on top after wins in 2018, 2020 and 2021; acknowledges that their sausage roll has also been named best in Scotland this year; wishes Alan Pirie all the best on his planned retirement after 57 years as a butcher, and commends him on his many achievements and accolades over these years, in which the local community has shared; further commends the three other Angus award recipients, WeeCOOK, Keptie Bakery and DH Robertson, and notes what it sees as the wider community benefit of such successes.
