Scottish Gallery

Originally established in David Street, Edinburgh by Aitken & Dott in 1842 advertising themselves as 'Gilders, Framers, and Artists' Colourmen'. They also exhibited and sold work by the leading Scottish artists of the day, a practise that has continued for nearly one hundred and seventy years. The company expanded and in 1860 more suitable premises were found in Castle Street. A purpose built gallery space was opened in 1897 and became known as the Scottish Gallery. The gallery has been situated at its present Dundas Street location since 1992. Guy Peploe the grandson of Scottish colourist Samuel Peploe is the managing Director.

The myriad of notable artists who have exhibited at the gallery include Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, William Crosbie, Alexander Goudie, Earl Haig, William Johnstone, David McClure, Jennifer McCrae, S.J. Peploe, Robin Philipson, Eric Schilsky and many more.
