That the Parliament congratulates the Aberdeen Association of Civil Engineers on its 125th anniversary; notes that the association was formed on 14 December 1900 to enable local civil engineers to attend meetings and presentations, given the distance from the Institution of Civil Engineers in London; further notes that it became an associated society of the institution in 1987, following discussions from 1945, and was granted a letters patent and a coat of arms symbolising civil engineering elements by the Lord Lyon in May 2018; understands that the association provides knowledge dissemination, professional meetings, site visits and education for members; commends its anniversary celebrations, including a certificate from ICE Scotland, a civic reception hosted by the Lord Provost in June 2025 and the unveiling of a display cabinet at the University of Aberdeen in September 2025, and wishes the association continued success.
