The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland is a learned society and registered charity based in Edinburgh, Scotland.[1] It was founded by Thomas Haining Gillespie in 1909. In 1913, Edinburgh Town Council bought a large plot of land on Corstorphine Hill for the society - this later opened to the public as Edinburgh Zoo.[2] The society received its Royal Charter in 1913.[3] The principal objective of the society mentioned in the original charter is:

To promote, facilitate and encourage the study of zoology and kindred subjects and to foster and develop amongst the people an interest in and knowledge of animal life.[4]

In 1986, the society acquired the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie, Inverness-shire.[5]
