This Gallery is gorgeous and has not only paintings, but furniture and marble sculptures (dating to the First Century). The Gallery has paintings by Rembrandt, Da Vinci, Turner, Constable, Claude and all the masters. It is well worth 3 hours during a visit to Edinburgh.

You don't want to be in a rush here. It's free to enter and most enjoyable. The old art is awesome! The first work I saw was a huge Constable - Wow! It is so well curated too. The display rooms are spacious and peaceful.

While on vacation in Edinburgh, my wife and I visited the National Gallery. It is a beautiful museum with an incredible collection by so many great artists. They have a very nice shop and cafe as well. If you enjoy art and are traveling to Edinburgh, don't miss this museum.

The old master's collection is first-rate. Highlights include Velazquez' old woman cooking eggs, 2 wonderful works by Veronese, great Dutch school selection and several Raphaels. The Scottish works can be skipped. Perfect size to see in a morning, without being overwhelmed. The cafe had an excellent cheese plate and was reasonably priced.
