Scottish Parliament Visit

Attended an enjoyable artsy evening at the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh, on Wednesday 24 June, celebrating sense of place in Scotland, based on the Placebook Scotland social networking/blog/photo-video sharing site I contribute to with poetry and photos. Introduced by Andrew Welsh MSP, the artists included:- Talented father and daughter folk singers from Perth, a good ceilidh band trio, Robin Harper of the Greens did well on acoustic guitar and singing, other talented contributors including a prose/poetry reading extracts of his. Well attended and sociable, with canapes and quality red/white wine (water and soft drinks also). The building itself divides opinion but I like its appearance/design, wood finishes and roofing, granite and flagstone flooring, quirky design and original art displays.
