Precise boundaries?

I have read somewhere that there is some sense in which Holyrood has precise boundaries, where some special laws apply, and that the Scottish Parliament Building is actually just outside those boundaries. Can anyone confirm this, and provide more detail? Laurel Bush (talk) 11:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]

No definitive answer, but for what these snippets are worth: Canongate certainly had defined boundaries when it was a separate burgh. Nowadays, I imagine what's being referred to might well be the Royal park of Holyrood, which would presumably include the palace and many of the former outbuildings. There's no particular reason why the Parliament would be within that; it's a little further away from the palace than any former outbuildings I know of such as stables. – Kieran T ^(talk) 13:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the special laws do concern the status of the area as a royal residence. Laurel Bush (talk) 15:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
