Delve into the rich history of panoramas at the "Panoramas: the World in 360°" exhibition in Edinburgh. Step back in time to two centuries ago when the concept of virtual reality was born in this very city. Renowned artist Robert Barker introduced the world to immersive 360° experiences from Calton Hill, using intricate painted perspectives, spatial control, and an understanding of human perception. Barker's groundbreaking creation, showcased in London's purpose-built rotunda, captivated audiences throughout the 19th century before being overshadowed by technological advancements like cinema. This exhibition not only traces the evolution of Barker's panorama but also transports visitors from Edinburgh to distant lands like the battlefield of Waterloo, the sights of Sydney, and the polar regions, all within minutes. Immerse yourself in this unique journey through time and space at the Exhibition Gallery, University of Edinburgh Main Library, Ground Floor, George Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9LJ. Admission is free.

Historic buildings

Really lovely experience. I went with a local guide and would recommend getting one as they are able to tell you the stories of the place that you may need time to read up before or during your visit. An architecture that is truly beautiful even from secluded corners.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Very good place, the palace is not big, the old wooden floor is creaking, very atmospheric, I like it very much! ! I hope that in the future, I can see the part that has not been built or repaired, next to the Royal Art Gallery.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

Sopart

This experience is a fantastic way to learn about Whisky from the start all the way through to tasting Whisky. The most impressive collection of Whisky that I&rsquo;ve ever seen. Great value for money. If you like Whisky or you&rsquo;ve never tasted Whisky this experience should be on your must do list when visiting Scotland.

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh&#39;s Old Town is a captivating maze of cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and rich culture. A must see, you won&rsquo;t regret coming here!

It is a must-visit place in Edinburgh. On the hill, there are lots of good spots to get a good view of the city. Old Town, New Town, Arthur&#39;s Seat, and the sea are all visible there.
