National Gallery, Edinburgh
National Gallery, Edinburgh
Art installation by Nathan Coley, dating from just before the Pope's visit to Edinburgh in 2010. Beyond are, from L, Edinburgh Castle, St. George's West church on Shandwick Place, and the 19thC Dean Free Church, which became Belford Church and is now a tourist hostel.
National Gallery of Modern Art

The National Gallery of Modern Art was built in 1822 as John Watson's School, and based on designs by William Burn, it was converted in the 1980s into The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. It has a grassy area in front with some weatherproof sculptures.
Everyone will enjoy visiting this fine and at times idiosyncratic collection of 20th century paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture, many international and many from Scotland.
