"The Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture (RSA) is right next to the Scottish National Gallery on The Mound; in fact, they're joined by a walkway. It’s a publicly accessible institution, and the building is a lovely Neoclassical affair from 1836, complete with pale-blonde sandstone and colonnaded pillars. The collections at the RSA date from 1780 through the present day and honor artists from their emerging stages until they achieve success. The curation is first class; after all, this is one of Scotland’s foremost art institutions—just as it's been for 200 years." - Freya Herring
