About the Gallery

This is a purpose built gallery opened in 1962. It owes its existence to local banker and artist Robert Lillie (1867-1949), who left a substantial number of his own artworks as well as funds to build the gallery.

Since 1962, this founding bequest of artworks has been developed to form a collection of Scottish art dating from the 1880s to the present day. Around 450 works are contained in the collection, which includes paintings, prints, drawings and a small collection of sculpture and ceramics.

On the day of your visit

No track and trace is required.

Please note, the wearing of face coverings in leisure and cultural settings is no longer a mandatory requirement. As a result, it is no longer essential to wear face coverings in EDLC facilities. However, the Scottish Government recommends people continue to wear a face covering if they feel they need to, so there may be some customers and staff who continue to do so. We ask you to respect their choice in this.

We continue to provide hand sanitiser for general use and our cleaning procedures will remain as they are at present. Some recommendations continue in that if you are feeling unwell with flu like symptoms, please do not visit our facilities.

Visit the Government website for more information.

Thank you for your understanding.
