    Opening of the Scottish Parliament

    Thought it would be appropriate to post up a few scenes of the opening of the Scottish Parliament.

    There is an hour long video from the Scottish Parliament of the opening ceremony in 1999 and you can listen to it in their archives at http://www.holyrood.tv

    Thanks for the footage, Alastair. Much appreciated.

    I fell in love with this building about ten-eleven years ago. One of the most crazy, poetic, radical and exciting buildings of the century I believe and to me, an immersive experience.

    Re: Opening of the Scottish Parliament

    The was a lot of controversy about the building in part due to the large cost over run on it's building but also about the building itself. I have to confess that I think they did an excellent job but there are some who think it's terrible. I understand that the people who work there do like the building.
