The Scottish Gallery
Museum & Art Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland
Set up in South St. David Street, Edinburgh by Aitken Dott in 1842 as Gilders, Framers, and Artists' Colourmen, the company, as it does today, exhibited and sold work by the leading Scottish artists of the day. As all areas of the business grew, bigger premises were found in Castle Street in 1860 and a new dedicated gallery space was opened in 1897 as The Scottish Gallery. Following a move to George Street in 1982, we established a specific department in 1986 for the promotion and sale of Contemporary Applied Art. Materials, framing and restoration departments were wound down and closed and we re-situated in our present form to Dundas Street in 1993.

About Us
read moreThe Scottish Gallery offers a comprehensive and discreet service to those seeking guidance or wishing to sell works of art. We offer impartial advice on the best way to maximise a return for any prospective seller. The Gallery can provide valuation advice for individual paintings or collections. An initial verbal appraisal is free: valuation is not a science but a well-informed opinion. However a written inventory might be essential for insurance purposes, useful for future planning or a legal requirement for CGT or Inheritance Tax.
