Yesterday, I visited the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh for the first time. I was delighted that I took the time to do so, amid the Christmas frenzy. It is a beautiful building with an amazing entrance and some very interesting stained glass windows (some ancient, some contemporary), an old library and of course the portraits, all of which are of, but not necessarily by, Scots. This is a close up of a section of a contemporary stained glass window which was designed to mark the reopening of the Gallery in 2011 after major refurbishment.
