Our editor shares the places that are on her radar and should be on yours too if you’re hoping to catch some of the best contemporary art this year in Scotland. From contemporary sculpture to modern paintings inside a Georgian house, this list has it all.
Edinburgh Printmakers
A little out of Edinburgh’s city centre, in the former factory headquarters of North British Rubber (who brought the world Wellington Boots), this gallery is continuing to celebrate British makers. There’s a huge printmaking studio, where locals (and those on longer trips) can sign up for courses, an excellent vegan café, and an exciting programme of rolling exhibitions.
We are open Tuesday to Sunday 10am-6pm.

The Scottish Gallery
Another gallery space that is often missed by visitors to the capital is this one, which stands in an affluent part of the New Town, on Dundas Street, in a smart Georgian building. As well as changing exhibitions, it displays a wide range of 20th-century and modern art, including paintings, sculpture, and prints, alongside a collection of craft and design pieces, from ceramics to jewellery, all of which are for sale.
Open Tuesday to Friday 11am – 6pm and Saturday 11am – 2pm.

Jolomo Studios
If, like me, you are a fan of Scotland’s most celebrated landscape artist, John Lowrie Morrison OBE, then it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the Jolomo Studios website to hear about his latest exhibitions. The beautiful Blossoms and Boats– The Crinan Canal show at The Glasgow Gallery runs from 22 October 2022 and others will soon follow, as we can’t get enough of him.
