HOLYROOD has topped a poll of the greatest Scottish innovations of the past 50 years.

A survey carried out by whisky makers Grants collected the views of Scots and Londoners to create their top ten lists of Scottish innovations.

And despite its troubled creation and hefty price tag, the Scottish Parliament still managed to secure the top vote by people north of the Border.

It was closely followed by the Forth Road Bridge and Dolly the Sheep, while Harry Potter, Megabus and Rab C Nesbit also featured.

Londoners ranked the Forth Road Bridge top, with the Parliament in fourth place just behind Harry Potter, and also included the deep fried Mars bar.
