National Gallery of Modern Art
A Museums & Galleries in Edinburgh City Centre
Museum
This building was originally designed by William Burn in the 1820's as the John Watson Institution, but the Gallery of Modern Art moved in, in 1984. This impressive collection comprises over 5,000 items, ranging from the late 19th century to modern day and including paintings, bronzes, works on paper, kinetic sculpture and video installations. Highlights of the collection include early 20th century French paintings by Bonnard, Vuillard, Derain and Matisse; Cubist work by Braque, Leger and Picasso; early 20th century Russian art, including oils by Larionov and Goncharova; and a collection of Expressionist art, with works by Barlach, Kirchner, Kokoschka and Nolde. There is also a sizeable post war
collection and a Scottish collection. The grounds have been landformed by Charles Jencks and are home to sculptures by Cragg, Hepworth and Moore. 10:00 - 17:00 Disabled access, shop, cafe

Private House Stays
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.
