We were fortunate that David and especially Doug guided us around in this extraordinary modern building that houses the Scottish Parliament. Thank you David and Doug for the impressive tour.

 

Scottish Parliament Building

The Scottish Parliament Building (Scottish Gaelic: Pàrlamaid na h-Alba), is the home of the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood.

Construction of the building commenced in June 1999 and the Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) held their first debate in the new building on 7 September 2004. The formal opening by Queen Elizabeth took place on 9 October 2004. Enric Miralles, the Catalan architect who designed the building, died before its completion.
