We took the hour tour and this is to be recommended as you get to see some of the areas not generally accessible to the public. You can also take photos anywhere that is open to the public.. The architecture of this building is stunning, especially if you like modern stuff. It is a tragedy thought that neither the advocate... More

A very architecturally unusual building, free to enter with guided tours available. Worth a visit but if you want to see how to spend an absolute unnecessary fortune on a building - visit here !! More

If you are a tourist in Scotland, you might miss the behind-the-scenes happenings including that Scotland is working its way to becoming an independent nation (a vote is coming), and the quite unusual newly built Parliament building is one step.
