Meetings, conferences and events in Edinburgh

Cocktail receptions are held in the breathtaking arched Great Hall with its beautiful stained glass windows and astrological ceiling. Exclusive private views can be enjoyed in the presence of expert curators who can tell guests about the many famous Scots represented in the collection: royals and rebels, poets and philosophers, heroes and villains.

Entertaining in the Portrait Gallery offers a unique opportunity to impress guests alongside some of Scotland’s best known faces, such as Sir Sean Connery, Robbie Coltrane and Billy Connolly.

For traditional banquets, guests dine in the sumptuous Raeburn Room surrounded by some of the galleries finest Scottish Portraits: Bonnie Prince Charlie, Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Alternatively for smaller banquets, the Mural Balcony overlooking the Great Hall, is an awe-inspiring setting.
