Scottish National Portrait Gallery

The 19th-century building on Queen Street was built in Spanish Gothic style and is worth admiring before you even step inside. Admission is free, the portrait collection spans from the Renaissance to the present day, and the crowds are far smaller than at the castle or on the Royal Mile.
