Camera Obscura and World of Illusions

Camera Obscura and the World of Illusions is Edinburgh's oldest purpose built visitor attraction. Opened in 1853 as 'Shorts Observatory' it has been enthralling visitors for over 150 years. It now has three floors filled with exciting, interactive exhibits, a roof-top with powerful free telescopes which gives unrivalled views and, of course the camera obscura itself.
