SMITH HAILS NEW BEGINNING FOR COLINSBURGH
October 24, 2007 5:12 PM
In the wake of the reprieve granted to Colinsburgh's Galloway
Library, Iain Smith MSP has welcomed the proposed restructuring
of the Galloway Trust to secure its future and to bring the
terms of its bequests into the twenty-first century.
Mr Smith said, 'The people of Colinsburgh are to be heartily
congratulated upon their fight to retain their library and
their determination to ensure that the intentions of Thomas
Carstairs Galloway will be carried out in the future. Not only
will the library remain as an important community hub but the
new trust will return control to the people of Colinsburgh by
including the elected East Neuk Fife Councillors and local people.
They are surely best-placed to ensure that the money is
appropriately used for the good of the people and to
alleviate present-day difficulties, rather than those which
pertained to the Victorian era. I am certain the future
of the Trust is in excellent hands and I wish it all the best.'
