Presents an unequalled panorama of the Scottish men and women who have shaped our world. Among the most famous historical portraits are Mary, Queen of Scots, Allan Ramsay's portrait of the philosopher David Hume, Alexander Nasmyth's portrait of Robert Burns, and Sir Henry Raeburn's Sir Walter Scott.
All the portraits are of Scots, but not all are by Scots. The collection also contains works by great English, European and American masters such as Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Rodin and Kokoschka, alongside works by Ramsay, Raeburn and many other Scottish artists. In addition to paintings, the Gallery displays sculptures, miniatures, coins, medallions, drawings, watercolours and houses the Scottish National Photography Collection.
The Gallery pursues an active policy of acquiring and commissioning portraits of celebrated living Scots.
