Friday 4 November 2011
Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford and Peterhead South & Cruden SNP councillors Stephen Smith and Stuart Pratt have hailed Friday night’s street performance in Peterhead of ‘’Leviathan’ as ‘absolutely fantastic’.
Around 600 young people took part in the colourful parade which was watched by a crowd of several thousand people as it wound its way around Peterhead town centre. Dr Whiteford and Councillors Smith and Pratt were among the crowd to see the parade start off from Peterhead Community Centre.
Commenting, Eilidh Whiteford MP said:
“This was a wonderful spectacle to witness. A huge amount of work had obviously been put in by the young people to their costumes, the floats and the music.
“The efforts of the performers were clearly appreciated by those who turned out to see the parade.”
Councillor Stephen Smith commented:
“This was a very colourful display and also highly reflective of Peterhead’s whaling heritage.
“I’m delighted for the young people involved that they received such strong support from the townspeople of the Peterhead for their efforts.”
Councillor Stuart Pratt added:
“The turnout tonight was an absolutely fantastic achievement and all those involved in making this event such a success deserve our congratulations.”
