The Scottish Parliament

The Scottish Parliament building, located at the foot of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, is a striking example of modern architecture and a symbol of Scotland’s devolved government.

Designed by Catalan architect Enric Miralles, the building was officially opened in 2004. Its innovative and sustainable design incorporates elements that reflect the Scottish landscape, culture, and identity.

The complex features an array of unique structures, including the iconic debating chamber with its distinctive roof and the public garden, which offers stunning views of Arthur’s Seat.

The Scottish Parliament is not only a working legislative building but also a popular tourist destination, offering guided tours that provide insight into its design, history, and the role it plays in Scottish politics.
