New Scottish Parliament Site Launched

The Scottish Parliament launched its new web site, www.scottish.parliament.uk, in September, ready for the opening of the new Parliament building by the Queen at Holyrood on 9th October.

The site is bright and cheerful and very user friendly with the site available in 12 languages and with resizable text for 'accessibility'. There are sections for young people and lots of history and it is much faster to load than the old site.

There is a very nice picture of the new Parliament building on the home page with the page shown here being at a more 'nitty gritty' level.

If you want to see more of the new building, you will be pleased to know that there are '100 photographs of the Scottish Parliament building taken by our Parliamentary photographer' available on the site.
