| Scottish Parliament exhibition 'Moving Stories' opens in Stornoway |
 A travelling exhibition exploring ten people’s experiences of interacting with the Scottish Parliament will open in Museum nan Eilean, Stornoway on Tuesday 3 August.
The exhibition includes the story of John Macleod, a native Gaelic speaker originally from Carloway on the Isle of Lewis, who successfully campaigned for new initiatives to support the future of the Gaelic language.
The interactive exhibition, which has already toured more than 1,000 miles around Scotland, combines photography, objects and audio-visual material. |

| New resources for visitors to Parliament |
 Two new resources have recently been produced to promote public awareness of the range of activities taking place at Holyrood.
Discover the Scottish Parliament is a compact, colourful leaflet that provides helpful information for those wishing to visit the Parliament building at Holyrood.
What’s on in the Scottish Parliament is a flyer advertising what's happening at the Scottish Parliament over the next few months. This flyer has been produced as a trial and, if successful, will be updated three times a year.
Copies of these leaflets are available from the leaflet rack in the Main Hall of the Parliament, or by contacting the Public Information Service. |
