The Best Museums

  • National Gallery of Scotland: This is not one gallery but rather a set of museums. The flagship, on the Mound in the middle of the Princes Street Gardens, offers a small but choice collection that includes works by such great and diverse artists as Velázquez and Cézanne, plus Scottish master works. Other branches include the Gallery of Modern Art and the associated Dean near the Water of Leith, as well as the National Portrait Gallery on Queen Street.

  • Museum of Scotland: In 1998, the collections of the Royal Museum of Scotland and the National Museum of Antiquities were united into a coherent whole. Here you'll find practically everything you ever wanted to know about Scotland from prehistory to the Industrial Age, from Pictish artifacts to a milk bottle carried by Sean Connery when he was a milkman.
