The International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust (IMPACT) Scotland was formed in 2016 and is responsible for the construction and operation of The IMPACT Centre supported by the Royal Bank of Scotland, a new all-purpose performance venue in Edinburgh’s St Andrew Square.
The IMPACT Centre will sit behind Dundas House, 36 St Andrew Square, the listed 1774 home of Sir Lawrence Dundas – which in 1825 became part of the Royal Bank of Scotland estate.

This proposed new venue will offer a 1,000 seat auditorium, 200 seat studio doubling as a rehearsal / recording space and an all-day atrium, cafe and bar. The IMPACT Centre will create a new home for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, a world-class space for the Edinburgh International Festival and is intended to be a year-round arts destination for performers, audiences and the wider community.
We look forward to hearing how these applications have been informed by the previous Public Consultations held in November 2017 & March 2018.
