Scottish Parliament

Three years late in completion and ten times over budget, the new Scottish parliament opened for business in early September 2004. A formal, official opening by Her Majesty The Queen is Saturday 9 October. If a hallmark of great architecture is controversy, then this new landmark of oak, sycamore, stone, steel, concrete and all its furnishings is world class, inside and out!
