text: I like going to Modern Art museums but the National Gallery in Edinburgh somewhat disappoints me unfortunately nnThe art collection is very limited when compared to those in the MoMa Guggenheim Lisbon and other places The sheer space is vast there are two separate buildings housing the art The garden space is magnificent and the outdoor room cafe is definitely worth a checknnI spent about an hour or so seeing their permanent collections A nice part is the gift shop as it has some pretty good stuff therennAdmission is free If you like to spent a couple of hours on a cloudy day this may worth a quick looknnAlso the Lothian bus line does not reach there so your ua all day bus pass will not get you over There is another bus line that will get there but it runs every hour so public transportation is not superb However it is a fairly quick nice walk from the castle about mins and not bad if you want to check out the houses and Scottish architecture
