SNP HQ MOVES TO HOLYROOD

The SNP has opened its new headquarters next door to the Scottish
Parliament in the heart of the Holyrood area of the city.

The move comes as the SNP marks its 75th anniversary and the Scottish
Parliament marks ten years since it was reconvened.

The Party has moved to Gordon Lamb House, A new high quality contemporary
office development located on Jackson’s Entry within Edinburgh’s World
Heritage site.

The accommodation gives the Party a higher profile for its headquarters
operation, proximity to MSPs and media, professional facilities and
environment.

SNP Business Convener Angus Robertson MP said:

"This is an excellent location for the party's new headquarters. Gordon
Lamb House is a great new development to house a modern, progressive party
like the SNP.

"These are exciting times for Scottish politics and our move to Holyrood
further cements our position as the party of Government in Scotland.

"Being the first party to locate ourselves at the heart of Scottish
political life shows how seriously we take our position in Scottish
political life.

"This location will also allow us to strengthen our campaigning edge by
bringing the party's organisational hub closer to our 47-strong group of
MSPs who often front many of our national campaigns at a local level.

"We are the first political party to move to Holyrood - the political
heart of the nation - and it is fitting that Scotland's Party should be
the first to be headquartered at Scotland's Parliament.”
