What To Expect

Location
Collective sits on Calton Hill above central Edinburgh, so this one works well if you want an exhibition visit with views over the city.
Our Tips
- Allow a little extra time if you also want to explore Calton Hill.
- Bring a layer if the weather is breezy on the hill.
- This is a good pick if you want something more contemporary than a traditional museum exhibition.
