It is filled with charm, character, and inspiring imagery from The Great tapestry of Scotland itself, and guarantees your guests a warm welcome.

The space can be tailored for a variety of uses. The permanent video wall of 9 multi-synced 55” screens offers state-of-the-art display for presentations.
