These distinguished rooms enjoy a magnificent perspective over
Edinburgh's historic Old Town and Edinburgh Castle. The Bute Room
is a stunning circular room with a beautiful tapestry carpet which
adds colour and depth to the dramatic and imposing setting. This
versatile and flexible space can be set up to accommodate any style
of event and is suitable for meetings, receptions and dinners.
Directly above the Bute Room the Boardroom is one of the most
sought after venues in Edinburgh. With arguably the best view of
the Castle in the city, it is a spectacular setting for meeting,
reception and dinners. With its stunning circular burr maple wood
table, comfortable sofas and cushions, guests can relax with a
coffeeor liqueur after dinner admiring the beauty of the Edinburgh
skyline.
These beautiful rooms have a further well kept secret - a
private roof terrace accessed via the Boardrooms. This terrace can
be used for pre-dinner drinks and canapés in the summer months, and
guests have access to this terrace throughout the year to enjoy the
fabulous view.
Uniquely in the National Museum of Scotland these rooms are
available for use during the daytime as well as in the evening and
are ideally suited for receptions and smaller dinners.
Catering can be offered in these spaces by the Tower Restaurant or
Heritage Portfolio. Please contact the Events Team for menus
