Numbering almost 5,000 art works, it includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, photography, tapestry and installation art. Among the highlights are key works by Allan Ramsay, Alexander Nasmyth, EA Hornel, John Duncan, JD Fergusson, William Gillies, Joan Eardley, Eduardo Paolozzi and Victoria Crowe.
