The New Library of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.

The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE) was established in the 17th century. While the RCPE is based in Edinburgh, it is by no means just a Scottish professional body - more than half of its 7,700 Fellows, Members, Associates and Affiliates live and practice medicine outwith Scotland, in 86 countries and covering 55 specialties.

The RCPE Library was established in 1682 and was the first in Scotland specifically intended for the study of medicine.
