‘You will not be disappointed here! From the iconic hall, which has a border, featuring famous Scots through time, to the excellent portraits of famous and not so famous people. It ranges from very old, to very contemporary. Definitely recommend’
– The Scottish National Portrait Gallery
Visiting The Gallery
As part of the National Galleries of Scotland, entrance into the gallery is free. A free shuttle bus also connects the Scottish National Portrait Gallery with the other National Galleries, The National Gallery of Scotland and the National Gallery of Modern Art, making it easier than ever to spend all day exploring Scotland’s rich artistic heritage.
Once you’re completed the National Galleries of Scotland trifecta, join us at the Parliament House Hotel for a dram or two. You deserve it.
