I stumbled upon this art gallery when walking through the streets of Edinburgh and much to my delight, like many of the museums in the city, it was completely free to visit! The experience was great, with exhibits spanning 3-4 floors, covering a wide period of Scottish history. The historical portraits of monarchs like Charles I who had an entire section to himself were fantastic and mesmerising. This museum was one of my highlights of the trip and all of its rooms will pique your curiosity through their decadence.
