Owner description:
Much acclaim has greeted the 2011 re-opening of this now emphatically 21st-century gallery housed in a striking 19th-century Gothic building. You will find portraits of generations of famous Scots (from Royals to poets and film stars), but the Gallery now also encompasses depictions of specific places and events – making it a portrait of the nation, not just its most famous sons and daughters. The dazzlingly-restored Victorian murals, plus a new emphasis on photography, have revitalized the place, and hugely extended its appeal.
