Scope and Content First-floor gallery, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, No 1 Queen Street, Edinburgh The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, designed by Rowand Anderson for the joint use of the Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of Antiquities, was built in 1885-90 for £50,000, a gift to the nation by J R Findlay, owner of the Scotsman newspaper. The first-floor galleries have paired windows, and the galleries on the second floor, behind the blank upper wall, are top-lit. The portrait collection has works which were transferred from the National Gallery of Scotland. The collection includes works by Allan Ramsay, Alexander Nasmyth and Henry Raeburn. As well as portraits of famous Scottish authors, poets and royalty, the gallery has paintings of 'ordinary' Scots, notable in law, business and commerce. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
