"Think of the Scottish National Gallery as the Louvre of Edinburgh. It houses the very best Scottish art, as well as a sprawling collection of international art by the likes of Monet, Velázquez, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Gauguin, Turner, and Vermeer. The building dates from 1859 and was built in the Neoclassical style—all pillars and hefty majesty. Its high-ceilinged rooms are grand old affairs, with walls that have maintained their original colors through the decades." - Freya Herring
