That the Parliament notes with sadness the closure of Ayr's Highlander Tartan Wear, which will see owner Roy McNair retire after 35 years; understands that the Kyle Street business has been a fixture of the town centre for over three decades, with an extensive history of supplying Highland wear; notes that Roy and the team have thanked their many customers for their support over the years, and wishes Roy a very happy retirement.
