What visitors thought

• A personal highlight was visiting the Camera Obscura up by the castle: well well worth a visit and the finest I’ve seen.
  Derren Brown (illusionist) 2010

• What made the visit a success, as far as we were concerned, was the appeal it had to both young and old. Our group consisted of grandparents, parents, an 8 year old and a 5 year old all of whom enjoyed it on their own level.
  Visitor Survey 2010

• Camera Obscura is an amazing attraction - historical links, but one of the most cutting edge attractions on the Royal Mile
  Visitor Survey 2010

• I was quite bowled over by the variety of exhibits. The child in me came out with all the fun things! Having my grandson with us meant that I could be as silly as I wanted.
  Visitor Survey 2010

• The rooftop panorama and the Camera Obscura show are brilliant! The rest of the exhibits are quirky and fun and kept us entertained even on a second visit. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for a lovely visit.
