Beautiful old buildings and you can wander at the exhibitions - make sure you check out both buildings (they sit across the road from one another and are named ‘One’ and ‘Two’ ). There’s a lovely outdoor cafe at One if the weather is in your favour. A great spot to shelter if it’s raining.

Large free art gallery in a beautiful setting. You can walk to or from Stockbridge along the water of Leith and take in a bit of nature along the way. Modern Two is just across the road, usually with a paid exhibition on.

My favourite of all the Scottish Galleries. But then I am a modern art fan. There are two galleries here No 1 and No 2 literally opposite each other across a road you could easily spend a full day in each of them. Located in Edinburgh’s West End there is a gallery link bus from the national gallery on Princes Street( £1 charge each way). From the Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore sculpture in the garden setting to the Lichtenstein in the gallery this setting keeps on giving. Inspired curation provides a host of specialist exhibitions throughout the year. Currently a Paula Rego exhibition (spring 2020). You cant see everything on a short trip to Edinburgh but if you love art this is a must. Great cafe which is just as well as a bit of a walk to alternatives.
