2 Best Sights in The Borders and the Southwest, Scotland

With galleries hosting changing exhibits of Scottish art mostly from the 1840s to today, Gracefield Arts Centre also has a well-stocked crafts shop. A café serves lunch and snacks.

In a 17th-century tolbooth (a combination town hall–courthouse–prison), this exhibition space and gallery describes how the town attracted famous artists, among them E. A. Hornel, Jessie King, and Charles Oppenheimer. Some of their paintings are on display, as are works by contemporary artists. There is also a shop on the ground floor.
