Top prize for Parliament building
The Scottish Parliament building, which
opened three years late and at £431m
cost 10 times over budget, has won the
Stirling Prize for architecture.
It beat five other contenders including
a library and new factories built for
BMW and the McLaren Formula One team.
The prize honours the building which
has made the biggest contribution to
British architecture in the past year.
Last year the £20,000 award was won by
London's "Gherkin", which was designed
by Lord Foster.
