Curious about astronomy and want to find out more? Ever wondered what takes place behind the gates of the Royal Observatory Edinburgh?

If so, join Care for Carers and expert astronomers for an evening at this famous site, where we will learn its history and experience its blending of old, new and cutting edge technology.

During our one-hour tour we will see the beautiful Victorian telescope dome, learn about the science and engineering that happens at the Royal Observatory today, take part in astronomy-related activities, and have our questions answered by working experts in the field.

If we are very lucky and the weather allows, we will have time for stargazing on the observatory’s flat roof.
