My first memories of the building are of going as a child on a Saturday in September each year to the Department of Health for Scotland Horticultural Society's annual show, which was a fixed point in the family calendar. It took place in the canteen. There as children we got to know the names of the staff who grew the finest carrots and potatoes, and we followed the intense competition for the trophies for the roses, in which some of the senior managers were keen participants.
Oddly I have only worked in the building once, in my first post as a trainee, but I remain happily married to the trainee I met in the same canteen 35 years ago.
