The Old Royal High School is a building on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. It is a former building of the city's Royal High School. It is also known as New Parliament House, because it was the site proposed for the devolved Scottish Assembly in the 1970s. The building is still commonly referred to as the Royal High School and has recently been proposed as a housing for a Scottish National Photography Centre and aluxury hotel. Edinburgh's original Parliament House is in the Old Town just off the Royal Mile housing 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.
