The firm run by the late Enric Miralles, the architect who designed the Scottish parliament building, has so far netted Ł2.4m in fees from the project, Scotland on Sunday can reveal. Despite the fact Miralles died in 2000 and his firm, EMBT, was expected to work on the project for less than a year, the company has continued to see its earnings grow. The firm - named after the initials of Miralles and his widow, Benedetta Tagliabue - earned its largest annual payment in 2002-03, two years after Miralles's death, when it charged the taxpayer Ł1.2m for its services.
