Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
Two buildings & a sculpture park
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art lies a little trek out from Edinburgh's centre (about 1.5 miles from Princes Street), but one that's worth it for modern art lovers who can enjoy a selection of it's 5,000 pieces collection.
Big names include Picasso, Mackintosh and Hockney, but often it's the very good temporary exhibitions that capture the imagination.
There's also a good shop, an excellent cafe and some interesting sculptures scattered in the grounds.
