Brechin Cathedral Trust Takes Ownership of Brechin Cathedral

That the Parliament congratulates the Brechin Cathedral Trust on assuming ownership of the 800-year-old Brechin Cathedral; notes that the A-listed cathedral is one of Scotland's most significant medieval churches; recognises the efforts of the Friends of Brechin Cathedral and the General Trustees in helping secure the building's future following its closure as a regular place of worship in 2021; further recognises that its Irish-style round tower, dating from around 1100, is one of only two such towers in Scotland, and that the cathedral houses an important collection of carved Pictish stones and outstanding stained-glass windows, and commends the Trust for its commitment to safeguarding the cathedral's heritage, promoting public access, and ensuring that this nationally significant landmark continues to serve the community for generations to come.
