Housing one of the most excellent fine art collections in the world, the Scottish National Gallery invites visitors to explore a historical side of Scotland they are yet to see anywhere else. Admission is free to all visitors, allowing them to see almost all of the exhibitions in the gallery, including international and Scottish art from the Renaissance to the 20th century.

The paintings were acquired long before the gallery opened in 1828 and include the "Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child" by Sandro Botticelli, "Old Woman Frying Eggs" by Diego Velazquez, and "Haystacks" by Claude Monet.
