Talking rubbish in the Parliament...

This was the sight that greeted guests to the Scottish Parliament this evening - and very clever it was too...

It was to underscore the purpose of the event I was attending - the launch of a new national Clean Up Scotland Campaign from Keep Scotland Beautiful. The aim is to tackle the culture of litter and fly-tipping and work together to make Scotland shine.

If you're part of any kind of community group in Scotland it's worth checking out and seeing how you could be part of it.

Mind you, I didn't envy whoever had the job of clearing this lot up at the end of the night. Then again, maybe that makes the point once more...!
