Glowing tributes have been paid across Stirling Council’s chambers to outgoing chief executive Carol Beattie.
At her last full council meeting before leaving later this month, councillors lined up to thank the authority’s top official for her service - with particular praise for her leadership throughout the Covid pandemic and for being the brains behind the recently announced Stirling Studios.
“I want to put on record as council leader that Carol leaves with our best wishes and our thanks,” he said. “First of all the Covid crisis. I don’t think any of us fully understand exactly what the leadership role of the chief executive has been over that horrific crisis for our country and the fact that you took that challenge on, head on, and continued with it through the sphere of recovery is something I think you should be rightly proud of.
“She is a huge loss to Stirling and I look back at the achievements - absolutely brilliant, dynamic. The film studio was Carol’s idea - and I know people latch onto it for the political side of it - but that was Carol’s idea.”
