The Royal Scottish Academy Building

The RSA is sited at the foot of The Mound, the steep man made slope that joins Edinburgh's Old Town to the New Town. It is another fine example of Edinburgh Architecture designed by William Henry Playfair. Reopened in 2003 it is considered one of the finest temporary exhibition centres in Europe and is well deserved of its reputation.
It is currently housing the works of many artists of pedigree but the exhibition that really caught my eye was that of Beth Fisher whose dramatic and figurative works show real inner depth and character.


In the inner sanctum of the museum until the 31st of January there is an exhibition of Turner's watercolours. A fine selection of works spanning the whole career of one of the British great master watercolourists.
