New view

Convening the committee this morning but this afternoon was a little different as I spoke to a group of German politicians from the Saxony-Anhalt area. It was scheduled to last a maximum of an hour but went on for an extra 15-20 minutes over the hour. There were lots of questions about the Scottish Parliament, the work of the Education and Culture Committee and of course the independence referendum.

The hot weather meant that one of the doors in the Garden Lobby was open to provide a bit of a breeze but it gave me the chance to head out into the garden and take some pictures of the parliament from a new angle for me.

This blip shows the MSP office block on the left, the Garden Lobby directly ahead with Queensberry House behind it and the canteen on the right.
