That the Parliament congratulates Stuart McMillan MSP on his five-day Pipeathon charity challenge in which he played the bagpipes at all 42 professional football stadiums in Scotland, beginning at Cappielow on 17 July 2017 and ending at Hampden Park on 21 July; believes this to be a unique initiative that has not been undertaken before; understands that funds raised from the effort will be donated to Cash for Kids, Clydeside Action on Asbestos and the Andy Adams Fund; particularly thanks Stuart for visiting Albion Rovers’ Cliftonhill Stadium in Coatbridge in the Central Scotland region, and recognises the important role that bagpiping plays in Scotland's cultural heritage and the need to support local football clubs as key community institutions.
