Edinburgh and Scottish Collection

The Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood was opened in October 2004. It was designed by a Spanish architectural practice led by Enric Miralles and his wife Benedetta Tagliabue in conjunction with the Scottish company RMJM. The project has been the source of much controversy, principally on the subjects of its cost and appearance. The building is open to members of the public.
