EDM 1711: Angus John Tulloch MBE

That this House congratulates Angus John Tulloch MBE on being honoured for his outstanding services to music through his founding and continued leadership of the Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust (SSPDT); notes his long-standing commitment to widening access to Scotland’s national instruments by establishing piping and drumming tuition in state schools, beginning with the East Lothian Pipes and Drums Trust in 2007 and expanding nationwide through SSPDT from 2014; commends Mr Tulloch’s dedication, particularly in supporting areas where local authorities do not provide such opportunities; recognises the transformative social and cultural impact of SSPDT’s work, particularly within Moray, where the Trust is working closely with Moray Council, schools, parents and carers to deliver a growing tuition programme involving many pupils across the region; and pays tribute to all those involved in the Trust’s mission, including trustees, instructors, school staff, and young musicians whose collective effort is strengthening Scotland’s musical heritage and community life.
