For such a small country Scotland has had a surprising influence on the world. At the Scottish National Portrait Gallery you'll find stunning portraits in various styles of some of the most influential Scots past and present. There are works by masters from Europe and America including Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Copley, Rodin and Ramsay. There is also a photography collection that offers a fascinating insight into the development of Scotland since the 1840s. You'll also find sculptures, miniatures, coins, medallions, drawings and watercolours. Entry is free though there are occasionally special exhibitions which charge an admission fee. There is also a cafe and a shop.
