New for 2011

The fantastic Victorian part of the National Museum of Scotland is reopening and available for events from October 2011, following a £46m transformation project. The prestigious Grand Gallery will be able to accommodate up to 850 people for dinner in stunning surroundings. Along with 16 new galleries and a new entrance on street level, the changes will create a unqiue event space to rival all others. There will also be a 200 seat Lecture Theatre Complex with break out rooms available for a range of events both day and evening.
