UNESCO Status for the Scottish Morning Roll

  • Submitted by: Holly Bruce, Glasgow Southside, Scottish Green Party
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 09 July 2026
  • Motion type: Standard Motion
  • Motion reference: S7M-00602

That the Parliament understands that a campaign has launched to afford the Scottish morning roll protection and recognition as a UNESCO cultural status food; believes the status is well-deserved for a unique food group that is treasured across the country and enjoyed by many each day; understands the morning roll has been around for over 300 years, longer than Paris has had the baguette, believes that Glasgow Southside, often referred to as the "brunch capital of Scotland", has numerous institutions that offer this delicacy, such as Cafe Strange Brew, the Green Goose, Cafe Salmagundi and Fulton’s Cafe, and commends the work of the Scottish food historian, Peter Gilchrist, who is embarking on this cause.
