Edinburgh Zoo was built in 1913 and is currently home to 171 species of animal, it’s the only zoo in the whole of Britain to be home to giant pandas and koala bears, it was also the world’s first zoo to house and breed penguins!

The zoo’s gardens include some of the most diverse tree collections in the Lothians and the zoo has been granted four stars by the Scottish Tourism Board.

To this day, the zoo remains the only one in the UK with a Royal Charter, which came about following a visit by His Majesty King George VI in 1948.

There are continual development plans for the zoo, with Red Pandas soon to be added to the zoo’s extensive collection as well as a Sumatran tiger enclosure.
