On Thursday 21 May, Richard Lochhead, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment, officiated at the topping-out ceremony of the John Hope Gateway visitor centre.
The ceremony marked the completion of the construction phase of the project. Mr Lochhead, pictured here with RBGE Chairman Sir George Mathewson, said: "It is wonderful to see the John Hope Gateway Visitor Centre so close to completion and the Scottish Government's £10 million investment coming to fruition."
The Gateway will open to the public later this summer, offering visitor facilities, interpretation, an improved shop, a new restaurant as well as temporary and permanent exhibition spaces.
