Hunners of great paintings, prints, maps and whatnots about Edinburgh and Leith over the centuries, from the earliest to the current. Everything from Henry Raeburns to John Bellanys. </p> <p>And it's free.</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghmuseums.org.uk/Venues/City-Art-Centre/Exhibitions/2014-15/A-Capital-View---the-Art-of-Edinburgh" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghmuseums.org.uk/Venues/City-Art-Centre/Exhibitions/2014-15/A-Capital-View---the-Art-of-Edinburgh</a></p> <p>Well worth an hour or so of viewing. I learnt a few things too! </p>
