This banner was made for the Vigil for the
Scottish Parliament. This was set up on Calton
Hill after the General Election of 1992, with a
pledge for it to be continuously occupied until a
Scottish Parliament was achieved. Labour swept to power in the General Election on the 1 May 1997 with a commitment to a Scottish Parliament. After 1980 days, the Vigil closed and the banners and other items were handed over to the People's Story Museum.
