Located in the redeveloped docklands area of North Leith, the Victoria Quay building is a grand project built as an extension to the old Scottish Offices. It replaced New St Andrews House, which was part of the St James Centre complex at the top of Leith Walk. Following the transfer of powers to the Scottish Parliament in 1999, the building became part of the Scottish Government (known as the Scottish Executive until 2007). Today, it is the largest single office of the government, housing several departments and functions, including policy, development, education, environment, transport and planning.
