<dc:title>New Register House</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;New Register House is one of Scotland’s most important buildings where National Records of Scotland provides some of its public services. It was designed by Robert Matheson as the home of civil registration in Scotland and opened in 1861.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Its centrepiece is the Dome, a large and striking circular chamber, over 27m (90 feet) high, which consists of five tiers of ironwork shelving and galleries. It’s of considerable interest as a piece of 19th century functional architecture and structural engineering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GLOBAL CONNECTIONS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;National Records of Scotland preserves the primary records for understanding all aspects of Scotland’s history, its people, government, economy and society. These records can inspire and engage communities across Scotland and the world, as their own heritage is revealed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;30-minute tours of New Register House and Archivists’ Garden, 10:30 – 15:30.
