While we’re hoping the weather will see us able to enjoy the great outdoors, it’s fair to say that the Scottish climate in early May means anything could happen.
Luckily, with restrictions continuing to ease there will be plenty of indoor options for dreaded rainy days.
Here are 10 of the best galleries and museums that will be open.
Remember that because of social distancing, museums and galleries currently need to be booked in advance – so check a slot is available before leaving.

Current exhibitions include 'Domestic Bliss', featuring works from the collection that have never been shown at GoMA before, alongside new acquisitions. Photo: Canva
