Talk:A portrait of Scotland: Gallery reopens after £17.6 million renovation

Original Reporting notes

1. Attended Monday's press preview, took in 1.5hrs tour with deputy director of the gallery, followed by taking numerous photos around the gallery.
2. Took handwritten notes during tour.
3. Reviewed printed press-pack material issued to press for creation of article.

Electronic press pack emailed to scoop. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 17:18, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Two items

• Since I don't see handwritten notes in evidence, does this mean there won't be any difficulty in review over their absence?
• There will, one hopes, be some testimony here when the author considers it ready-but-for-confirmation-it-happened?

The notes are mainly for the anecdotal items in the tour; were I to scan them (which I lack time to do) you'd likely find them completely illegible. The remainder should be verifiable from the press pack emailed to scoop.

I'll move it out of prep with a remark in the {{develop}} template regarding timing and confirmation of Salmond pulling the string on the plaque. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 12:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
