Edinburgh Futures Institute Time Capsule

A wooden cabinet with multiple drawers and compartments, some doors open and the top lid lifted, displayed on a pedestal in a well-lit room with large windows in the background.

This time capsule is built of elm wood, preserved from the only tree that had to be taken down as part of the restoration of Edinburgh Futures Institute building in 2024.

Edinburgh Seven Tapestry

Designed by Christine Borland and created by Dovecot Studios, the Edinburgh Seven Tapestry commemorates the first women to matriculate at any British university.

The Spirit Case

An object created to honour the time of transition from hospital to futures institute and act as a touchstone for memories and future dreaming.
