History

The Scottish Youth Parliament was launched on the 30th June 1999 in Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, one day before the first meeting of the Scottish Parliament. This was a result of almost ten years of hard work by a group of young people and youth workers who were committed to the idea of a forum to give young people a voice in Scotland.
