The Scottish Colourist Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell lived for much of his life in Ainslie Place, one of 13 streets which, along with four gardens, make up the 'Moray Feu' in Edinburgh's New Town. Cadell painted his door bright blue to annoy his neighboursand took great trouble over the stylish decoration of his home. It became the subject matter and setting for a remarkable series of pictures created during the 1920s. Alice Strang, former National Galleries of Scotland Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art and curator of our 2011-12 Cadell retrospective exhibition, will discuss the artist's personal and professional links with the New Town's Moray Feu, including its architecture and residents.

Our partial Changing Places toilet has all of the facilities of a full Changing Places toilet, and though the floor area meets the overall size requirement (13.54m2 minimum), it is just a little too narrow to be classed as a full Changing Places toilet.
There are a limited number of small lockers available, but there is no space to store large items of luggage.
There is limited on street parking close by including for those with a blue badge.
