There will be a royal event on Saturday to mark a quarter century of The Scottish Parliament.
The First Minister, John Swinney, will join their Majesties The King and Queen at a ceremonial event at Holyrood to mark 25 years of devolution.
Since being reconvened in 1999, the Scottish Parliament has introduced equal marriage for all, passed major land reforms to ensure people have the right to roam, banned smoking in public spaces, abolished student fees, and enshrined children’s rights.
First Minister John Swinney will say: “In such a short space of time in the rich voyage of Scotland, as a vessel of enlightenment, invention and creativity, this Parliament has placed itself at the very heart of the Nation. All made possible by the service of Members of Parliament, working at the very heart of Scotland.”
