Parliament House

Parliament Square, EH1 1RQ
0131 225 2595


Built in 1632 to house the pre-Union Parliament of Scotland, Parliament House now houses the Supreme Courts of Scotland (The High Court of Justiciary and the Court of Session ), The Faculty of Advocates and the National Law Library of Scotland (but n.b. it does not house the Scottish Parliament!). 

The building and it's first floor cafe, are open to the public. Look out for the south window of Parliament Hall depicting the inauguration of the Court of Session by King James V in 1532. Generally, the courtrooms are open to the public and you can attend and listen to proceedings.
