One of the first things visitors notice after entering the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, right at its center, is the Great Hall, a massive work of art unto itself.
A giant fresco mural surrounds the entire hall and features 155 important figures significant to Scottish history—James Watt, Adam Smith, David Hume, Robert the Bruce and Saint Ninian among many others. And above them? The Great Hall’s stunning zodiac ceiling.
This artwork features more than 2,000 golden stars and around 47 constellations sprawling across the ceiling, making the Great Hall the perfect place for anyone who wants to do a bit of stargazing, even on a rainy day.
