Museum    


Designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, the neo-Gothic red sandstone building that houses the Scottish National Portrait Gallery was built in the 1880's. Although not all of the artists whose works appear here are Scottish, all of the subjects are. Classic works such as Mary, Queen of Scots, Allan Ramsay's portrait of David Hume, Alexander Nasmyth's portrait of Robert Burns, and Sir Henry Raeburn's Sir Walter Scott hang alongside more modern icons like John Bellany's Sean Connery, David Mach's Alex Ferguson and Calum Colvin's

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.
