This gallery was voted the top free visitor attraction in Scotland in 2004 by VisitScotland.  The gallery is home to an impressive collection of painting and sculpture in elegant surroundings.  Work is on display by Botticelli, Rembrandt, Monet and Van Gogh to name but a few.  The gallery also houses a collection of Scottish art.   Don't expect to see everything in one visit, particularly with small children.  Facilities for families are good, with lifts assisting access for those with pushchairs.  Note that back carriers are not permitted in the galleries, but pushchairs are available to borrow.  If you need a break from soaking up the culture, visit the cafe for refreshments.
