That the Parliament congratulates the town of Kirkintilloch on being named the best place to live in Scotland in the annual league table collated by the UK’s largest independent estate agent, Garrington Property Finders; understands that this league table ranks Scotland’s best towns and cities according to four main criteria, including natural beauty, wellbeing, employment and connectivity; understands that the town sits near the foot of the Campsie Fells and is known as the "Canal Capital of Scotland"; further understands that the town’s history dates back two millennia, to Roman times; understands that over 160 communities across Scotland were ranked in this table, and that East Dunbartonshire took three of the top 20 entries, with Milngavie coming in number seven and Bishopbriggs coming in at number 20, and considers that this success reflects the vibrancy and depth of appeal across East Dunbartonshire as a whole.
