HSS Gifts to the Scottish Parliament Buildings

When the Scottish Parliament building was planned, no heraldry was planned so the HSS took it on itself to present two very striking examples of heraldry.

The first is the oak carving of the full royal arms as used in Scotland, behind the reception desk of the Parliament Building - here the former HSS chairman, Romilly Squire introduces and describes it:

The second work, in Queensberry House, is a magnificent painting of the achievement of HM the Queen as Queen of Scotland, painted by current HSS chairman, Mark Dennis:
