Scottish Government Appoints Group to Create Memorial for Queen Elizabeth II
The Scotland Legacy Group will consult communities and advise the First Minister on a lasting memorial funded by the UK Government to honor Queen Elizabeth II's legacy.
- The Scottish Government formed the Scotland Legacy Group to propose a permanent memorial in Scotland to honour Queen Elizabeth II, recommending ideas to the First Minister for presentation to the King.
- Because Queen Elizabeth II had close ties to Scotland, Culture Secretary Angus Robertson said it is right to pay tribute to her 70-year reign and the cortege from Balmoral Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse showed her deep affection there.
- A panel of senior figures, including Dr Joseph Morrow, the Lord Lyon King of Arms, will guide the memorial design, with membership including Dr Anna Keay, Professor Chandrika Kaul, Johnny Stewart, Leonie Bell, Anne Lyden, and Helen Webster.
- With funding pledged from the UK Government, the group will engage communities across Scotland to envisage a Scottish memorial for future generations.
- The group's recommendations could shape Scotland's lasting tribute and public memory, with high-profile members from cultural institutions including the Landmark Trust, V&A Dundee and National Galleries of Scotland giving the project national prominence.
