Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art

Frommer's Review

Scotland's national collection of 20th-century art occupies a gallery converted from an 1828 school set on 4.8 hectares (12 acres) of grounds, about a 20-minute walk from the Haymarket train station. The collection is international in scope and quality, despite its modest size, with works ranging from Matisse, Braque, Miró, and Picasso to Balthus, Lichtenstein, and Hockney. Recently, the grounds in front of the museum were dramatically landscaped with grassy terraces and a pond into a piece of art itself called "Landform" by Baltimore, Maryland-born Charles Jencks. A cafe sells light refreshments and salads.
