"Edinburgh’s Old Town is home to Scotland’s thoroughly modern Parliament building.  Open to visitors Monday-Saturday, why not take advantage of a free tour and learn about its history, work and contemporary architecture?  You can even visit a debating chamber and if Parliament is in session, view proceedings from the public gallery.

Keep an eye on their website and look out for the regular Art Tours where you can discover selected pieces of the Scottish Parliament’s Art Collection. This popular guided tour lasts an hour, so be sure to book your place to avoid disappointment.For literary fans, their Literary Tour explores their links with famous Scottish writers over the years.

With so much to see and do, you might like to recharge your batteries with a coffee or light bite in their bright cafe and no visit would be complete without a browse around their attractive gift shop."
