10th Anniversary of Scottish Parliament July 3, 2009

On Wednesday, 1st July Eilidh, Ellie and Alex arrived at the Scottish Parliament to join the celebrations for the 10th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament. The girls were invited as part of their prize for winning the Euro Poster competition. Unfortunately, the event took place during the summer holiday!
The morning began with entertainers.
The gilrs attended the ceremony and were able to hear the address by Her Majesty the Queen in the Debating Chamber.
Lunch was in the marquee, Parliament Gardens where the girls met the MSPs. Here they are with Fiona Hyslop who is Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning. She is also MSP for Lothians.
Talking to Angela Constance who is a Scottish National Party politician and Member of the Scottish Parliament for Livingston.
John Swinney is the MSP for North Tayside and is currently Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth in the Scottish Government.

After lunch the girls were back in the Debating Chamber for a photo call. Here they are with Alasdair Morgan MSP, Trish Godman MSP and the Presiding Officer Alex Fergusson MSP.
