The Scottish Parliament
Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2011/12 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Designed by Spanish architect Enric Miralles, who died before its completion in 2004, the Scottish Parliament building occupies an architecturally diverse corner of Edinburgh at the foot of the Royal Mile, with Dynamic Earth, the Queen’s Gallery and the Palace of Holyrood House all standing side by side.

In the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, the Scottish Parliament building opened in 2004 and has since welcomed over two million visitors. Usually open from Monday to Saturday, visitors can join a free guided tour or see parliament in action, depending on which day you visit (booking essential). Discover the parliament through our exhibition, and enjoy our cafe and shop. A free crèche is also available, Monday to Friday.

Text supplied by venue or third party.

Most are free apart from a reservation fee, and all events are themed around a politically-inspired topic – last year's was the suitably zeitgeisty 'Renewing Politics in the age of New Media', and involved talks about the uses of Twitter on politics, and the ramifications of the internet for freedom of information.
