Edinburgh’s National Gallery of Scotland is located in a nice Classical building along The Mound. It has an impressive collection of Scottish paintings such as those done by the Glasgow School, and also has an excellent array of British and Continental artworks. Some of these artists include Rembrandt, Monet, Van Gogh, Turner, and Constable.

Edinburgh is the seat of the Scottish Parliament. The city was one of the major centres of the Enlightenment, led by the University of Edinburghh. The Old Town and New Town districts of Edinburgh were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. There are over 4,500 listed buildings within the city. A great city to discover for everyone who is interested in history.

I waited in line here for over an hour to see a Monet exhibit, and I wasn't disappointed. Not only was it the most impressive collection of Monet's that I've ever seen, but the rest of the gallery was amazing. The works by Scottish artists were worth a visit on their own. I'm glad I saw the sign for the Monet display or I may never have gone in!
