An incredible gallery to visit! The gallery is located behind the Royal Scottish Academy of Art on Princes Street, and has a very wide collection of Scottish and European Art! Including an upstairs section dedicated to the impressionists. The lower level (accessible from east Princes Street Gardens), focuses on Scottish Art and has some incredible paintings of Princes Street and Edinburgh that will take you back in time!

There are audio explanations you can access on your phone - so bring headphones!
