The Scottish Parliament Building is the home of the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Edinburgh.
Construction of the building commenced in June 1999 and the Members of the Scottish Parliament held their first debate in the new building on 7 September 2004.
This building was right across the street from Holyrood and you can see Arthur's Seat in the distance in one of the photos.
I found it to be a jarring sight amongst all the lovely old buildings of Edinburgh.
I walked around trying to get a decent photo of it but ended up with three rather boring photos.
I bunched them together here because I felt I should include this important site in this gallery.
I am interested in hearing what you all think of the building.
If you view in original you can see the details of the building better.
