This striking modern building at the foot of the Royal Mile showcases bold Scottish architecture with its distinctive curved lines and natural stone facade that evokes the landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Opened in 2004, it serves as the working home of Scotland's devolved government and offers visitors a rare chance to witness democracy in action from the public galleries. The building's thoughtful design seamlessly integrates public spaces where you can explore exhibitions and watch parliamentary debates.
