The Scottish Parliament (Scottish Gaelic: Pàrlamaid na h-Alba; Scots: The Scots Pairlament) is the devolved national, unicameral legislature of Scotland. Located in the Holyrood area of the capital city, Edinburgh, it is frequently referred to by the metonym Holyrood.
The Parliament is a democratically elected body comprising 129 members known as Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs), elected for five-year terms under the additional member system: 73 MSPs represent individual geographical constituencies elected by the plurality ("first past the post") system, while a further 56 are returned from eight additional member regions, each electing seven MSPs.
Holyrood Abbey is a ruined abbey of the Canons Regular in Edinburgh, Scotland. The abbey was founded in 1128 by David I of Scotland.
The ruins of Holyrood Abbey, in Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Founded in 1128 by David I, the original abbey was regularly used as a royal residence, even hosting Robert the Bruce's parliament. In the 1500s it was heavily damaged by invading English forces during the Eight Years War (War of the Rough Wooing) and was partly demolished, repaired and rebuilt, before undergoing extensive remodelling for the coronation of Charles I, and again under the instructions of James (V)II. However, unlike so many English ruined abbeys and monasteries, the ruins of Holyrood reflect architectural over-ambition, rather than religious revolution, the final refurbishment in 1760 replaced timber elements of the roof with over-heavy stone vaults and slabs, causing the roof to collapse in 1768.
