Meeting Rooms
The premises at number 25 Queen Street, Edinburgh,
provide an excellent venue for a range of different
meetings. There are three elegant rooms, each with their own
ambience and with the capacity to seat up to 30 people in
sophisticated surroundings.
Our rooms are available to the public looking
for a meeting venue in Edinburgh, as well as RCGP meetings. Rooms
can be booked in advance, and most requirements can be catered
for.
If our premises are not available we may be able to help in
helping to identify another venue for you - please ask for our
assistance. We will help if we can.
Although we have offices in Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and
Glasgow we do not have meeting rooms immediately available at these
venues.
About 25 Queen
Street
 |
25 Queen Street is a mid terraced Georgian townhouse dating
from the late eighteenth century and is A listed in terms of
architecture and importance, with all the attendant attractions
(and restrictions).
Purchased by the College on 22nd July 1999, the building was
officially opened by Susan Deacon, the Scottish Health Minister in
September of that year, at an evening reception.
Located in the heart of Edinburgh's central district, known as
the "Golden Rectangle", its position has an attractive aspect
overlooking Queen Street Gardens. There is excellent access to the
main railway system and good public service links to the
airport.

day meetings, or where lunch is being served a separate room is
used.
The cost of these rooms is built in to the charges for the
main meeting room. We have the option of a number of breakout rooms

Wheelchair Access
Regrettably due to severe planning restrictions to conserve
the original fabric of the building, it has not been possible to
introduce wheelchair access or the necessary toilet
facilities.
Catering
Tea, coffee and biscuits can be provided
for any meeting, on request. Quality crockery is used for the
service. Tea and coffee are provided in individual sachets for
freshness with hot water supplied in flasks, so that meeting times
can remain flexible. A packet of quality biscuits is
provided for each delegate.
The Business Services department would be happy to arrange
catering for lunch (or dinner) to meet your requirements. This is
provided, to your specification, by outside caterers. Jugs of
orange juice are provided with lunch and the meeting rooms have
water coolers.
