Scope and Content Edinburgh City Chambers (formerly 'Royal Exchange'), City of Edinburgh Built as the Royal Exchange, Edinburgh City Chambers began as a complex of shops, printers, flats, coffee-houses and offices. The council kept ownership of only the north block which became the City Chambers after the old tolbooth was demolished in 1810. The outside of the City Chambers have changed little since this picture was taken of the proclamation of King George V in 1910, a few years after the original 18th-century arcade was replaced by Robert Morham.
