- The National Gallery of Scotland collection of works stretches from the Italian Renaissance, through French Impressionism (including a chap called Monet) to more modern Scottish works of the 18th and 19th Centuries. In fact, the entire lower gallery is given over to the Scots. Other artists' work exhibited include Degas, Van Gogh and Rembrandt.

Admission is free, except for special exhibitions.
