“On July 1st 2019 the Scottish Parliament is celebrating its 20th birthday and we are looking for young people who turn 20 on the same day to come and join the festivities.
“There are a number of events planned throughout 2019 at Holyrood in Edinburgh, including a public exhibition telling the story of the Parliament, a series of family days and a photography competition.
“If you or someone you know is turning 20 on July 1st 2019 and want to be involved in a birthday party to remember, contact 20years@parliament.scot. “
