If you love antiques, you will certainly fall in love with this cluttered small space in Cockburn St., like traveling back in time and stepping into the house of an old, fancy cat lady, or going through the bag of a marine from the 50s. The owners (who are adorable) have curated and looked after a collection of antique jewellery, postcards, collector items, military memorabilia and the most interesting artefacts- from lorgnettes to the tiniest silver spoon collection. 

Don your tartan for The Balmoral Hotel is an ode to its Scottish heritage. Recognisable from its landmark clock tower, what better way than to spend your time in the capital than in a hotel that has become an  icon to its country. 

Vermeer, Degas, Velázquez, Rembrandt, the list of classical masters on show is endless. Naturally, we're always drawn to their equally impressive collection of Scottish artists, think Henry Raeburn, The Glasgow Boys and William McTaggart.
