Edinburgh is 900 years old!

2024 marks the 900th anniversary of King David I introducing a new system of local government into Scotland, and making Edinburgh a royal burgh. To celebrate this anniversary, a range of events will be held across the city from August 2024 through August 2025, and the Museums and Galleries Service will be hosting a number of them at the City Art Centre and Lauriston Castle.

All our events are free, but pre-booking is essential for most (see individual listings for more information).
