Vigil for a Scottish Parliament

Placeholder for Vigil for a Scottish Parliament plaque

This cairn was built by the keepers of the Vigil for a Scottish Parliament. The Vigil was kept at the foot of this road. It began on the night of the 10th April 1992 as news broke of the fourth consecutive Conservative General Election victory. It ended 1980 days late. The previous day, 11th September 1997, Scotland voted "YES, YES" for her own Parliament.
