That the Parliament welcomes what it considers the incredible restoration of the Jubilee Gates in Kelvingrove Park; acknowledges that the gates were originally built in 1897 for Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee; recognises that the £147,000 restoration fixed damage to the gates, including to Glasgow’s coat of arms, strengthened the stone columns, added a new coat of paint and gold leaf elements, and recreated electric lanterns in place of the old gas-lit ones, and praises this project for renewing the gates and keeping up the historic importance of the gates and of Kelvingrove Park.
