( Worth Seeing )
The City Art Centre was established in 1980 in a building originally constructed in 1899 as part of the The Scotsman newspape's offices, a splendid baroque edifice with an imaginatively converted interior. Its six galleries house the city's collection of Scottish art and provide space for a diverse range of temporary exhibitions. Edinburgh has a policy of providing `something for everyone', and you're as likely to find a show devoted to Star Trek as to Michelangelo drawings or Egyptian antiquities. The permanent collection includes paintings, watercolours, photographs and sculpture. Look out for works by William MacTaggart, J P Fergusson and Anne Redpath, all important 20th-century Edinburgh artists and members of the school known as the Scottish Colourists.
