| dbo:abstract | The Old Royal High School, also known as New Parliament House, is a 19th-century neoclassical building on Calton Hill in the city of Edinburgh. The building was constructed for the use of the city's Royal High School, and gained its alternative name as a result of a proposal in the 1970s for it to house a devolved Scottish Assembly. After the Royal High School was relocated in 1968, the building became available and was refurbished to accommodate a new devolved legislature for Scotland. However, the 1979 devolution referendum failed to provide sufficient backing for a devolved assembly. Its debating chamber was later used for meetings of the Scottish Grand Committee, the committee of Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom House of Commons with constituencies in Scotland. Subsequently, the building has been used as offices for departments of Edinburgh City Council, including The Duke of Edinburgh's Award unit and the Sports and Outdoor Education unit. With the passage of the Scotland Act 1998 and the introduction of Scottish devolution in 1999, the Old Royal High School was again mooted as a potential home for the new Scottish Parliament. Eventually, however, the Scotland Office decided to site the new legislature in a purpose-built structure in the Holyrood area of the Canongate. Edinburgh's original Parliament House is in the Old Town just off the Royal Mile and currently houses the Court of Session. These were the buildings of the former Parliament of Scotland which existed before the formation of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 and the foundation of a British Parliament sitting at London's Palace of Westminster. A number of uses have been suggested for the building, including a home for a Scottish National Photography Centre. In 2015, The City of Edinburgh Council, which currently owns the building, initiated a project to lease it to be used as a luxury hotel. However, in 2021, it was announced that the lease to the hotel developers had been cancelled, and a new use was being sought. (en) La Old Royal High School, également connu sous le nom de New Parliament House, est un bâtiment néoclassique du XIXe siècle situé à Calton Hill dans la ville d'Édimbourg. Le bâtiment a été construit entre 1826 et 1829 comme Lycée Royal de la ville. Après le déménagement de la Royal High School en 1968, le bâtiment est devenu disponible et a été rénové pour accueillir une nouvelle législature décentralisée pour l'Écosse. Cependant, le référendum de dévolution de 1979 n'a pas abouti. Sa salle de débat a ensuite été utilisée pour les réunions du Scottish Grand Committee, le comité des députés de la Chambre des communes du Royaume-Uni avec des circonscriptions en Écosse. Par la suite, le bâtiment a été utilisé comme bureaux pour les départements du conseil municipal d'Édimbourg, comme l'unité de récompense du duc d'Édimbourg et l'unité d'éducation des sports et de plein air . Avec l'adoption de la loi de 1998 sur l'Écosse et l'introduction de la dévolution écossaise en 1999, la Old Royal High School a de nouveau été évoquée comme un siège potentiel pour le nouveau Parlement écossais. Finalement, cependant, le bureau pour l'Écosse a décidé d'installer la nouvelle législature dans une structure construite à cet effet dans le secteur de Holyrood du Canongate. Un certain nombre d'utilisations ont été suggérées pour le bâtiment, comme un centre national de photographie écossais. En 2015, le City of Edinburgh Council, qui est actuellement propriétaire du bâtiment, a lancé un projet de location pour qu'il soit utilisé comme hôtel de luxe. Le Parlement d'origine d'Édimbourg se trouve dans la vieille ville, juste à côté du Royal Mile et abrite actuellement la Cour de session. C'étaient les bâtiments de l'ancien Parlement d'Écosse qui existaient avant la formation du Royaume de Grande-Bretagne en 1707 et la fondation d'un Parlement britannique siégeant au Palais de Westminster à Londres.
