In 1950, Prince Albert laid the foundation stone for this neo-Classical building, which sits behind the Royal Scottish Academy at the foot of the Mound. One of the finest small galleries in the world, the National Gallery holds an outstanding collection of paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures including Raphael's Bridgewater Madonna, Constable's Oldham Vale and works by Titian, Velazquez, Van Gogh and Gaugin.

I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
