Archivists' Garden - opening

The Archivists' Garden was opened by Jim McColl of BBC Scotland's Beechgrove Garden on Friday 25 June 2010.

Present to welcome Jim to the Centre and to escort him on a guided tour were George MacKenzie (NAS, Keeper of the Records of Scotland) and David Mitchell (Curator, Royal Botanical Garden, Edinburgh - responsible for the original concept).

The still below were taken from the Beechgrove Garden episode that was filmed to commemorate the opening, and are reproduced with the permission of BBC Scotland.
