Bute House

Bute House is the official residence and office of the First Minister of Scotland, located in Edinburgh. It serves as both a home and a workplace for the leader of the Scottish Government, where important meetings and discussions about Scotland’s policies and future matters take place. The house is situated on Charlotte Square in the city center, surrounded by historic architecture. Unlike a private home, Bute House functions as a key venue for political and diplomatic activities, representing Scotland’s devolved government and its leadership.
