Scotland House
Scotland has had a long-established presence in Brussels, including almost 20 years in Scotland House at Rond-Point Schuman. In line with the Scottish Government’s newly-established network across the EU in London, Dublin, Berlin, and shortly, Paris, we have renewed our own Scotland House Brussels (Taigh na h-Alba Bhruiseal) to provide us with an even more effective platform to enhance our commitment to playing an active role in Europe and support our collaborative approach to working with Scottish, EU and International stakeholders.
The partners of Scotland House Brussels are the Scottish Government, Scotland Europa and Scottish Enterprise / Scottish Development International. Scotland House Brussels has well established teams covering diplomatic engagement, economic development and cultural promotion.
