It's the ugliest building in the whole country and it was very expensive too. I wish it were torn down.
This is the old parliament before 1707. It's the world's first building which was dedicated as a parliament from conception.

Danes building them cheap ugly euroshit like that is part of why they voted to leave Denmark and join America instead. Picrel is the artist's concept for the new building they'll get once they become part of the USA

Nod really. There were parliaments in antiquity, some, like the roman senate, had dedicated buildings.

It's not the oldest parliament. It's the oldest building that was purpose-built as a parliament. All other parliament buildings were for some other intention and then re-purposed for parliament at a later date. Older buildings were not meant for hundreds of representatives to sit in and debate new laws from the onset.

It was some Spanish weirdo.
tbh, Scottish independence was over before it even begun, the Caledonian elite signalled they were a bunch of globalist faggots right from the world go.

Wiki says that building was a repurposed temple from 700BC during the reign of Romulus. Sounds pretty spurious tbh

To cite wiki:
The Curia Julia (Latin: Curia Iulia) is the third named curia, or senate house, in the ancient city of Rome. It was built in 44 BC, when Julius Caesar replaced Faustus Cornelius Sulla's reconstructed Curia Cornelia, which itself had replaced the Curia Hostilia.

>The mixed public reaction contrasts sharply with the response from architectural critics. Its rampant complexity, iconography and layering of meaning and metaphor are widely regarded as producing a building which is "quite a meal".
This prompted Catherine Slessor, writing in the Architectural Review, to describe it as "A Celtic-Spanish cocktail to blow both minds and budgets, it doesn't play safe, energetically mining a new seam of National Romanticism refined and reinterpreted for the twenty-first century." Jencks attempted to dampen criticism of the cost overruns by questioning how 'value for money' might be judged. For him, the building is not just a functional or economic enterprise, it is an exploration of national identity, and in comparing it to other comparable assemblies, not least the Palace of Westminster, he argues the cost is comparable. The conception of the building has been singled out for praise, particularly in the way it re-establishes Scotland's traditional focus towards mainland Europe and its values by means of the layout of the non-adversarial debating chamber, and the creation of the public spaces in front of the building, "where people can meet and express themselves as a force". In an era of the Bilbao effect and the iconic building, Jencks is impressed that rather than being a monumental building, as is usual for capital landmarks, the building creates a complex union of nature and culture that nestles itself into the landscape.
