Explore Robert Burns and his legacy through the lens of two exciting contemporary installations at the Portrait Gallery. Graham Fagan's evocative
video installation focusses on ‘The Slave’s Lament’, Roberts Burns' only work to empathise with the appalling hurt of the displaced, the trafficked
and the enslaved. Douglas Gordon’s specially commissioned installation, Black Burns, is a striking response to the full-length marble statue of the
poet Robert Burns in The Great Hall of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Meet and collect at main entrance.
