My husband and I recently had a wonderful 2 week holiday in Scotland (my first visit and I loved it so much) and on our first day visited the national gallery. It is brilliant and we spent hours looking at the amazing works of art and its free! When we finished in the gallery we had lunch it the excellent... More

I knew nothing about this gallery and was really surprised at the range and quality of artwork. The gallery is well laid out and offers excellent facilities. From Rodin to Monet, Van Gogh to Da Vinci this gallery has the lot.

Enjoyed a visit to the gallery. Well laid out and home to some very interesting works of art. Free entry is so appreciated and well worth taking full advantage of wherever offered. Room stewards made sure there were no children on shoulders or back packs carried. Fair enough to protect valuable art works from accidents but politely "being told" did... More
