MSYP Summer visits Scottish Parliament

Ross High School pupil Summer Ramsay was elected as a Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYP) in October 2025 following a by-election. In February, Summer had the opportunity to visit Holyrood, touring the Parliament and sitting in on a session of First Minister’s Questions.

Summer (pictured right with First Minister John Swinney) reflects: “It was a really positive experience, I had the pleasure of meeting First Minister, John Swinney, who was very down to earth and was open to any questions.”

“I am extremely lucky to be able to represent Ross High School and the students through my key issues in my manifesto and I thank my teachers for how supportive they have been throughout my time in this role so far.”

MSYPs are elected to represent young people in every community in Scotland. The diversity of MSYPs reflects Scotland’s young people and ensures a broad range of views and experiences are included in their work.

“I am very grateful to be a member of the Scottish Youth Parliament and the opportunities that are given to me through this role,” as says Summer.
