Free exhibition

Designed by renowned architect Robert Adam, and one of the most prominent landmarks on Edinburgh’s New Town Princes Street, many do not know the significance of General Register House.

The first ‘proper repository’ for the records of Scotland, and the first purpose-built record repository in the British Isles, it continues to hold and provide access to Scotland’s most essential and precious documents.

Visit our free exhibition to mark the building’s 250th anniversary, explore the archives of National Records of Scotland, and learn about our history.

Dates: 28 September – 29 November 2024, 9.00am-4.00pm
Venue: The Adam Dome, HM General Register House, 2 Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3YY
