The public are to be asked to submit their favourite quote to reflect 10 years of the Scottish parliament at Holyrood, the winning submission to be carved into the building's walls.
[...] The Canongate wall was the idea of Enric Miralles, the Barcelona-based architect who won an international contest to design the building. Although he died before the project was complete, he had proposed the wall as a means of making the building feel like a “people's parliament”, Linda Fabiani, the SNP Culture Minister, said.

"What do the people want of the place? They want it to be filled with/
thinking persons as open and adventurous as its architecture/
A nest of fearties is what they do not want/
A symposium of procrastinators is what they do not want/
A phalanx of forelock-tuggers is what they do not want/
And perhaps above all the droopy mantra of 'it wizny me' is what they do not want/"
