Scottish National Portrait Gallery

Frommer's Review

Housed in a red-stone Victorian neo-Gothic pile designed by Robert Rowand Anderson at the east end of Queen Street, the country's portrait gallery gives you a chance to see many famous Scots. The portraits by Rodin, Kokoschka, Ramsay, and Raeburn, among others, include everybody from Mary Queen of Scots and Flora Macdonald to early golfers, authors, and enlightenment thinkers. But it's not all historical characters, as modern portraits include Sean Connery and Billy Connolly. In addition to paintings, sculptures, miniatures, and the National Photographic Collection are on display (although the latter is destined to have a home of its own).
