The National Gallery of Scotland collection of works stretches from the Italian Renaissance, through French Impressionism (including a chap called Monet) to more modern Scottish works of the 18th and 19th Centuries. In fact, the entire lower gallery is given over to the Scots. Other artists' work exhibited include Degas, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. The National Gallery is richly endowed with paintings, sculpture and furniture. While you are on the culture trail, you must visit the Royal Scottish Academy next door. Admission is free, except for special exhibitions.
