The Scottish National Gallery on The Mound in central Edinburgh is home to the national collection of Scottish and international art. Entry is free, and families can pick up free art trails, activity backpacks and family-friendly guides to explore the collection together. The gallery runs regular children's activities and workshops during school holidays.
