The Hub, Church building at Royal Mile, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Hub features a Gothic Revival tower that rises 72 meters into the sky, making it the highest point in central Edinburgh.
Built between 1842 and 1845, the structure served as a meeting hall for the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland until 1929.
The building now functions as the central location for the Edinburgh International Festival, offering ticket services and performance spaces throughout the year.
The main hall accommodates 420 people, while two additional spaces, the Glass Room and Dunard Library, provide settings for smaller gatherings.
The structure, designed by architects J Gillespie Graham and Augustus Pugin, includes a two-level Victoria Hall with separate spaces for committees and assemblies.
