Designed by the Spanish Enric Miralles, the construction of the Scottish Parliament's headquarters was spread out from 1999 to 2004. Today, this boldly shaped building stands in stark contrast to the rest of Old Town and its neighbour, the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Some people love it, others hate it... It can be visited free of charge: an interactive exhibition explains the role, functioning, history and architecture of parliament. Several guided tours (to be booked) are available: classic, "Architecture tour", "Art tour" and "Photography Tour".

Sympathique
Visite agréable, pas un incontournable mais c'est intéressant de pouvoir en apprendre un peu plus sur la politique du pays. De plus visite gratuite !

Moche architecture pour une noble cause
Encore un architecte qui se contrefiche du cadre bâti autant que du cadre non bâti : il faut être sans gêne pour pondre ce mochasse tas de béton à côté du palais de Holyrood et face au site naturel magnifique du parc de Holyrood ! Encore un pour qui décrocher un prix en faisant un " geste d'architecte " est la seule chose qui compte ; mais l'infortunée cité d'Édimbourg et ses visiteurs ont ainsi pris une peine de 50 ans, hélas probablement incompressible...

A little disappointment, since the site was closed during our passage and we saw the building from outside. However, it is to be seen for its particular architecture. The rooms in Parliament are free of charge, but booking by phone is mandatory. Parliament is located next to the park and the palace of Holyroodhouse and the Queen Galery.

Bâtiment audacieux dans un quartier ancien de la ville. L accès à la chambre des débats est gratuit et est assez facile par rapport à l assemblée nationale en France. La visite de l assemblée est à faire si on s'intéresse à la politique et à la façon dont sont votées les lois.

Le parlement écossais est un bâtiment récent, très beau d'extérieur même si l'on dirait plutôt des bureaux ou appartements. Nous avons également eu l'occasion de visiter l'intérieur et d'assister à un débat (entrée gratuite) et ça valait le détour.
