Conservation officer Anna Zwagerman cleans Queen Victoria's Coat of Arms plaque (1848) which forms part of the temporary exhibition ‘Unicorn' which explores the emblem of Scotland at the new Perth Museum, ahead of the opening to the public on March 30. The new museum is housed in the old City Hall building, and will tell the story of Perth's place in ancient and modern Scotland as the nation's first capital. The centrepiece of the new museum will be the Stone of Destiny, or Stone of Scone, returning to Perthshire for the first time in over 700 years. Picture date: Wednesday March 27, 2024.
