Only four days until the Queen opens the Fourth Session of our Scottish Parliament !
There will be a procession from Edinburgh Castle, consisting of more than sixty groups with well over 1,000 people - down the Royal Mile - with Samba bands, pipe bands, a sports dance team. It also passes the Canongate Kirk (where we can see the Queen again soon for the wedding).
This part of the event is known as The Riding. It symbolises the meaning of the Parliament's mace - Wisdom, Justice, Compassion, Integrity - representing the ideals that Scottish people want for their Members of Parliament.
