Doors Open Days at Royal Observatory Edinburgh

An amazing chance to see behind the scenes at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh and find out about the people who work here!

Meet scientists and engineers who work at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh and hear all about their work! Join us to learn more about the out-of-this-world work, both past and present, being done right here in Edinburgh at the organisations based on site at the Observatory.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to essential repairs, we will NOT be inviting visitors to the rooftop and Victorian telescope dome this year. There will be NO TOURS of these historical areas as they will be CLOSED. There are still lots of other areas to see on our site.
