National Galleries of Scotland: Portrait

National Galleries of Scotland: Portrait is a unique art gallery housed in a stunning neo-Gothic palace. The red sandstone building, decorated with sculptures of famous Scotsmen, is a work of art in itself.

The site also impresses with the impressive Scottish National Photographic Collection of more than 55,000 objects. There are special guides and creative activities for families.
