Built in the 19th century, Camera Obscura has been in operation for over 150 years. A mirror and a lens project a 'live' image of the surrounding area onto a large concaved dish in a darkened room. The panoramic views show Edinburgh in amazing detail. In 1945 the original mirror and lens were replaced. Camera Obscura also contains the largest display of holograms in Europe as well a fascinating exhibition of optical illusions, pin-hole photography and early photographs of Old Edinburgh. TOLBOOTH KIRK This gothic style building was built between 1842-1844 by Augustus Pugin (1812-1852) and James Gillespi0e Graham (1777-1858) to originally house the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the kirks presiding body. The Tolbooth Kirk's impressive octagonal spire at 74m (240ft) is the tallest in Edinburgh. It has not been used as a kirk since 1984 but opened as THE HUB in 1999 Edinburgh's Festival Centre. There is a restaurant/cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.
