Friday, April 12th again .....


One of the highlights of our visit to Edinburgh was finding the Scottish National Gallery.  It's not large and the collection Is not extensive but they have some extraordinary pieces.  There was a Rembrandt self portrait, and works by Botticelli, Titian, Velasquez and others.

They also had Rodin's The Kiss, on loan. Unbelievable!  

I loved a huge painting in the main gallery which was called something like King Alexander being rescued from the fury of a stag, which was so full if life.  Another quirky little painting caught my eye.  It was The Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch.
