About this space

Kelvin Room

Named after Lord Kelvin - one of Scotland’s most renowned scientists and engineers, and President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh from 1873-1878 and again from 1895-1907 - this distinguished room reflects the RSE’s rich heritage.

A regal room with a warm palette and velvet wallpaper, the Kelvin Room is an impressive setting for meetings, board gatherings, or intimate sit-down dinners — especially during the colder months.

Timeless period features, including its antique white marble fireplace, are paired with modern amenities and hybrid meeting technology, making it a space where history and innovation meet to leave a lasting impression.
