360° panoramic photo tour: The debating chamber
<<Previous

Hold down the left mouse button and drag on the image to move around the picture. You can also use the cursor (arrow) keys. Use the 'A' key to zoom in, and the 'Z' key to zoom out. The photo may take some time to load and this tour requires Java to be enabled. If you can't see the moving image, view the non-Java photo tour.

About the image: Finished in oak, sycamore and glass, the chamber contains 131 seats and desks in a semi-circular layout, as well as the Presiding Officer's desk behind the mace. The upper level gallery has seating for 227 members of the public, 16 invited guests and 37 members of the media.

Parliament usually meets on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Parliamentary business also takes place in committee rooms.

If you're planning a visit to Holyrood in person, information including guided tour details and opening times is available in our Visitor section.
