Your invitation to the Centre, Saturday 25 September

Statue of King George III, Adam Dome, General Register House Saturday 25 September is Edinburgh’s annual ‘Doors Open Day’. Around 78 properties will be open to visitors – ranging from the Royal Observatory to the King’s Theatre. Those with stronger stomachs can explore the caves below the South Bridge or study ‘things in jars’ at Surgeon’s Hall!

The Centre is pleased to be participating in this venture again. Between 10:00 and 16:30 you are invited to enter the architectural splendour of Robert Adam’s neo-classical building, General Register House.


There will be guided tours, talks, and a chance to delve into your own family history. (All our archives have been digitised, enabling you to fly back through the centuries at the touch of a mouse). You’ll even get to meet King George III (pictured) who resides in one of the alcoves in the Adam Dome.
