The National Galleries of Scotland: Portrait is a hidden gem in the heart of Edinburgh. This neo-Gothic palace is all about exploring the Scottish story through art. You'll find contemporary portraits of pop culture icons like Billy Connolly and Tilda Swinton, as well as historical figures like Mary Queen of Scots. The building itself is a work of art, with elaborate murals and sculptural embellishments. And don't forget to look up at the stunning Zodiac ceiling in the Great Hall – it's like a sky full of golden stars! So grab your friends, head to Café Portrait for a bite to eat, and immerse yourself in the rich history and beauty of Scotland.
