The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh
This 'portrait of a nation' is a slightly awkward affair, but the collection errs on the winning side
The Scottish National Portrait Gallery has been transformed with a £7.6 million facelift. As a first-timer I confess I don’t have a clue what it looked like before, but I am assured it was dark and gloomy and had the air of a building cast aside in favour of Edinburgh’s better attractions.
