A relaxed, supported, early morning at the gallery for families with additional sensory needs. Explore the gallery – and take part in some open-ended, creative activities - before it opens to the public at 10am.
Bus numbers 10, 11, 12, 16, 26 and 44 all go past the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Alternatively, take any Princes Street or city centre bus, to the East end of Princes Street, opposite Waverley steps and walk through St Andrew Square, turning left onto Queen Street.
The Scottish National Portrait Gallery is a few minutes’ walk from Waverley Station. Take the Princes Street exit, cross the road and walk the short distance through St Andrew Square, turning left onto Queen Street.
Follow routes for city centre and city centre attractions. There is no car park at the Gallery, and very limited on-street parking near the venue. We recommend that you park your car in one of the many city centre car parks instead.
The Portrait Gallery is located in the city centre near St Andrews Square. It is a 10 minute walk from the Scottish National Gallery and a 15 minute walk from the Royal Mile.
Friends of the Galleries get free unlimited entry to all exhibitions, and enjoy a wide range of exclusive benefits including early exhibition access, special events and 10% discount in our cafes.
