We’ve taken a look at the new Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) digital archive to find these great photos of life at Edinburgh Zoo over the years.
Created in partnership with The University of Edinburgh’s Heritage Collections, the exciting findings reveal the rich history of the popular attraction, which first opened in Corstorphine in 1913. The archive will be available to view at a special exhibition from June 13 - 21.
The photos below offer a unique look at life at the zoo in the past 113 years, including great quality photos from the 1930s, the first ever map of the zoo, colour photos from the 1950s, and rare photos from the 1910s showing early life at Edinburgh Zoo.
