placing caption on the top right or top left -

Question

I would like to have my captions as shown in the image below. I want them to appear on the TOP left of the image. I tried SideCap, but it puts them at the bottom of image.

As Harish Kumar mentioned in his comment. you can use \sidecaptionvpos to control the vertical placement of the caption and the innercaption package option to place the captions right on left pages and left on right pages (as your example seems to show). In the following example I also used \subcaptionbox from the subcaption package to place the subfigures; the demo option for graphicx simply replaces the images with black rectangles (do notuse that option in your actual code):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage[innercaption]{sidecap}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\sidecaptionvpos{figure}{t}
\begin{document}

\begin{SCfigure}
  \centering
  \begin{minipage}{5.5cm}
  \subcaptionbox{A subfigure\label{fig:sub1}}{\includegraphics{name1}}\\
  \subcaptionbox{Another subfigure\label{fig:sub2}}{\includegraphics{name2}}
  \end{minipage}
  \caption{\protect\lipsum[2]}
\end{SCfigure}

\end{document}
