Capital Collections,  is not just the online home of for all our archival material, it also has some great contemporary images – the archival material of the future. We’re committed to documenting the changing face of the city and when possible, even record momentous events for posterity. This summer, our photographer has so far captured the Dalai Lama’s visit to Edinburgh and the Queen’s Jubilee visit to St Giles’ Cathedral for her grandson, Prince William’s Order of the Thistle ceremony.

Our photographer was also on hand to capture the journey of the Olympic Torch from it’s arrival in the city centre and then followed it as it set off the following day to Duddingston and Musselburgh as it travelled south.
