Looking towards the Entrance. The flags are behind us in this shot and the main entrance is tucked away to the right in a corner.

The Scottish Parliament Building absolutely looks totally out-of-place. It seems like a modern structure could retain some traditional elements that would be pleasing to the eye while still being modern and unique for such an important building. This is simply JARRING to the eye and senses. I've seen new additions on historic buildings in the U.S. that retain qualities of the original, if you can understand what I'm trying to say. Sorry I don't have any photos of examples that I could post.

Chas, I've really enjoyed the other photos. Thanks for posting them.
