Outlook Tower and Camera Obscura
Built in the 19th century, Camera Obscura has been in operation for over 150 years. A mirror and a lens project a 'live' image of the surrounding area onto a large concaved dish in a darkened room.
The panoramic views show Edinburgh in amazing detail. In 1945 the original mirror and lens were replaced. Camera Obscura also contains the largest display of holograms in Europe as well a fascinating exhibition of optical illusions, pin-hole photography and early photographs of Old Edinburgh.
