Holyrood Park

Note that Holyrood Park is the responsibility of the Scottish Government, who have delegated its management (including roads and paths) to  Historic Environment Scotland (HES).   Therefore comments/ queries about the park should go to HES and/or your MSPs, rather than to Edinburgh Council.
