On August 14, 2026, the Duchess of Edinburgh visited Capability Scotland in Edinburgh to meet volunteers, staff, and clients and to celebrate its 80th anniversary. Capability Scotland is a Scottish charity founded in 1946. Based in Edinburgh, with operations across Scotland, it provides care, support, and education for disabled people.
Capability Scotland was founded in October 31, 1946, by a group of parents and health professionals. Its initial aim was to support children with cerebral palsy. The first school was opened in Corstorphine, Edinburgh, in 1948. In the early 1960s, the charity began organising employment opportunities for disabled people, and in 1973, the first adult residential home was established. The Duchess of Edinburgh is the Patron of Capability Scotland.
