The 8 Best Art Galleries in Old Town, Scotland

June 19, 2021 Terina Blouin

Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital city, renowned for its heritage, culture and festivals. Take a long walk around the centre to explore the World Heritage Sites of the Old Town and New Town, as well as all the area’s museums and galleries. Then stop for a delicious meal made from fresh Scottish produce before heading out to take in one of Edinburgh’s many events — including the famous summer festivals of culture, or the Winter Festivals of music, light and ceilidhs.

I often enjoy browsing here. Have bought a number of prints (my favourite one was of UK Shipping Areas) and, most recently, a screen print.
