The King's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse

Following the exhibition’s successful showing in London, new additions have been made with distinctly Scottish links. These include two depictions of George IV, painted to mark the first visit by a reigning monarch to Scotland since Charles I. Also on display is a portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie, showing the Jacobite leader as a defiant prince. The exhibition is taking place at The King's Gallery, the palace formerly known as The Queen’s Gallery. It shows changing exhibitions of works of art from the Royal Collection, one of the largest and most important art collections in the world. The Royal Collection is held in trust by the Sovereign for his successors and the nation. The King's Gallery in Edinburgh is located at the entrance to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and was built in the shell of a former church and school of the 19th-century. The gallery was opened in its current form by the late Queen as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002.
