The National Collection of Aerial Photography (NCAP) is part of Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and holds one of the most significant collections of aerial photography in the world. We are custodians of 30 million images, providing a detailed and unique perspective on key moments in world history.

NCAP images form a crucial record of environmental and human impact on the globe over the past century. We are open to new research opportunities as we work to preserve, promote and provide access to historic aerial imagery from across the globe.
