What is Holyrood : the Inside Story about?

"Since 1998 Susan Bain, as part of the film team for the TV documentary The Gathering Place, has been one of the only outsiders to be granted full and exclusive access to the inside story of the new parliament building at Holyrood. This book tells that story." "Holyrood has become far more than the tale of a building. It is an exploration of Scotland's long-anticipated new democracy, hamstrung by its own incumbents and wrecked by the egotism and ingrained agendas of politicians, sections of the press and other 'interested' parties." "Almost everything which has appeared in the public domain over the past five years has been inaccurate - the result of misinformation, wrong information and deliberate untruth. Even the Fraser Inquiry was unable to uncover the true extent of the situation. And all this has had a profound impact on how the parliament building - intended as a physical manifestation of the new Scotland - has unfolded. What Holyrood reveals is a nation profoundly self-divided."--BOOK JACKET
