Official Opening Scottish Parliament |
|
This photograph was taken on the afternoon that the Queen officially opened the new Scottish Parliament Building - 9 October 2004. Spectators, many of whom came to see the procession down the Royal Mile earlier in the day, can be seen on the grass in front of the Parliament - and one in the foreground in this photo. The building at the extreme left with the white roof is Our Dynamic Earth, a science exhibition to explain the processes that shape the earth. The exhibition opened in 1999 as part of Britain's millennium celebrations. |
