Parliament Hall
Until the Union of Parliaments in 1707, this was where the Parliament of Scotland met. The building was designed by Sir James Murray and dates from 1632-1640, and the great hammer-beam ceiling was built in 1637-9 by John Scott, master wright to the Town of Edinburgh. This is the view looking south towards the great stained-glass window, which is looking rather washed-out in this shot because of the sunlight.
