Scottish National Gallery

We often find ourselves in art galleries and museums during our travels. They offer us refuge, calm, and an enjoyable way to spend a few hours. The Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh was no exception.

The Scottish National Gallery is centrally located and is home to a fantastic collection of art both painted and sculpted.
