We’re delighted that our friends at Edinburgh Zoo have shared with us their fascinating history and made it available on Our Town Stories.
Discover why the zoo’s logo is a penguin and where escapee sea lions were found in 1924. Take a nostalgic look at the Children’s Farm and meet the many famous animal faces Edinburgh Zoo has looked after over the years. Look behind the scenes at the zoo’s state-of-the-art Wildgenes Laboratory where today scientists undertake genetic analysis in support of conservation projects.

There are also some rather special Then & Now images to find on the Our Town Stories map…
