Though often overshadowed by artsy Glasgow, Edinburgh plays a starring role in Scotland’s cultural landscape. Art-keen visitors to the Scottish capital will find an array of art-centric attractions, including the national galleries. Here are some of the best spots for art lovers looking to explore Edinburgh’s art scene.
