About this space

Named after a famous French composer who travelled to Scotland on numerous times with his orchestras, the Salles Pierre Boulez are two small interconnecting rooms that boast an abundance of natural daylight.

It is just right for smaller receptions, ceremonies and meetings. It also offers a beautiful setting for exhibitions. It is located on the first floor and overlooking the Edinburgh High Court.
