The Scottish National Portrait Gallery is situated in Queens Street, in the heart of New Town. This gallery provides us with the history of Scotland, through the eyes of the people who once lived there. You would find information on people like the royals and rebels, poets and philosophers, heroes and villains of Scotland. This collection does not only include the work of Scottish artist, but also great English, European and American masters such as Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Rodin and Kokoschka. This is a gallery with a difference because it does not only consist of paintings, it also has displays of sculptures, miniatures, coins, medallions, drawings and watercolours.

Even if you're not the arty type, make a turn in at Edinburgh's Scottish National Portrait Gallery, whilst you're enjoying the exceedingly interesting and remarkably beautiful sites and sounds of Edinburgh. You will be affably pleased with the experience, as will you be with the remarkable Edinburgh hotels.
