A POEM by a Dundee man has been given a permanent home at Holyrood.

Scott Martin’s work Ploughman won an open competition to find a poem to mark the last St Andrew’s Day before the new millennium and the inauguration of the parliament in 1998.

It was displayed in the temporary venue in the Church of Scotland General Assembly building.

At the end of last year, it was taken down to create space for a photograph of MSPs and placed in storage.

Mr Martin wrote to presiding officer George Reid seeking a permanent home for the work and it is now in the new main hall.

The poem captures the image of Mr Martin’s father ploughing a field during the second world war while Nazi bombers fly overhead.
