Members of the public
To book a tour of the Scottish Parliament, please email Visitor Services: [email protected]
Visitors from other parliaments and official delegates from other countries
If you would like to request an official visit, hosted by the International Relations Office (IRO), please email [email protected] at least 6 weeks before your intended arrival.
A member of the IRO team will then be in touch.
Requests to visit must be made directly by:
- Other parliaments
- Embassies, High Commissions or Consulates General
- Inter-parliamentary bodies which have been identified as partners by the Scottish Parliament
- Individual MPs and their staff
IRO can support visits involving:
- Speakers, Presidents or Presiding Officers (and their deputies)
- Ambassadors, High Commissioners, Heads of Mission or Consuls General
- Parliamentarians (if the aim of the visit is parliamentary rather than political)
- Prime Ministers and government ministers (if the aim of the visit is parliamentary)
- Officials
Please note:
- visits generally do not take place on Mondays and Fridays or during recess
- political meetings with party leaders or individual MSPs cannot be arranged by the IRO – you should contact party leaders or the MSPs office directly
The IRO handles personal data responsibly and according to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.
