Where did the lion and unicorn statues come from?
The Lion and the Unicorn were a gift from a visiting delegation from the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1935. The Lion represents England and the Unicorn represents Scotland. Until 2015, the Lion and the Unicorn sat on the top of the 1904 portion of the Parliament House building, overlooking Harvest Terrace. As a result of wear and tear and a need to preserve these heritage icons, the statues were restored and relocated to the interior of Parliament House. Replicas now adorn the façade.
