The Parliament was temporarily relocated to the former Strathclyde Regional Council debating chamber in Glasgow in May 2000 and to the University of Aberdeen in May 2002.
The mace was presented to the Scottish Parliament by Queen Elizabeth II upon parliaments' official opening on July 1 1999 and is normally displayed under a glass case, but at the beginning of each meeting in the chamber, the case is removed.
