Description
At the upper end of the Royal Mile, or Castle Hill, stands Sir Patrick Geddes' Outlook Tower (1853) and Camera Obscura.

On display inside are a series of old photographs of Victorian Edinburgh and some examples of holography, three-dimensional designs produced with laser technology. Handicrafts and holograms are sold in the Obscura shop.

The magnificent panoramic view from the top of the building should not be missed.
