The Five Sisters Zoo is located in West Calder, Scotland. It was established in 2005 by Shirley and Brian Curran, who originally had a garden center in the area that is now the zoo. The zoo is named after the Five Sisters Shale Bings, which are a local landmark and scheduled monument located a mile to the west of the village.

The bings rise to a height of 720 feet (220 m), some 230 feet (70 m) above the surrounding area, and are the spoil tips from the oil shale industry that was a feature of the area. The zoo is home to over 160 different species from around the world, including Scotland’s only cheetah

Five Sisters Zoo also participates in national and international breeding programmes and EEPs for several species, such as red pandas, Eurasian lynx, and ring-tailed lemurs

The Five Sisters Zoo is committed to wildlife conservation and is a proud member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA).

The zoo works with conservation partners across the world, from participation in breeding programs to habitat restoration and conservation education.

The zoo also supports in-situ conservation efforts made by conservation partners nationally and internationally by getting involved practically with their work, including their work in conservation education programs and providing financial support where possible and appropriate
