The Scottish National Portrait Gallery originated in a communication, made through Sir William Fettes Douglas, P. R.S.A., to the Board of Manufactures, at their meeting held on the 7th of December 1882, from an anonymous gentleman who offered to the Board a sum of ^10,000 to aid in the establishment of a Scottish National Portrait Gallery, upon condition that a like sum should be provided by the Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury. The offer was communicated to the Treasury, and a grant of ^10,000 was voted by Parliament. The aggregate sum of ^20,000 is now held by the Board as a fund for the formation and mainten- ance of the Gallery. In May 1884 the same gentleman who gave the sum of ^10,000 offered to the Board a further sum of ^20,000, for the purpose of erecting a building to accommodate the Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of Antiquities, upon condition that a suitable and isolated site should be provided. The present site was accordingly purchased at a cost of ^7500, of which .£5000 was voted by Parliament, the remaining ^2500 being provided by the Board of Manufactures out of their own funds. In anticipation of the opening of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, a Loan Exhibition of Scottish Portraits was organised by the Board in the autumn of 1884, in the National Galleries, 6 Edinburgh. This Exhibition was in every sense successful ; it proved very attractive to the public, and served the purpose of directing attention to the subject of National Portraiture. It being the wish of the anonymous donor — in which the Board heartily concurred — that the Scottish National Portrait Gallery should be accessible to the public at the earliest possible date, the present temporary building has been erected and opened for the exhibition of the Portraits which, through purchase, gift, bequest, and loan, are already in the hands of the Board. Certain Scottish portraits, bequeathed by the late David Laing, Esq., LL.D., to the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland, with a view to their being included in such a gallery as the present, and a selection of drawings and engravings from the interesting collection bequeathed by the late W. F. Watson, Esq., to the Board of Manufactures, are now exhibited to the public. It is the wish of the donor that while the Gallery should be primarily a collection of portraits of eminent Scottish men and women, it should also embrace portraits illustrative of the history of the United Kingdom. It is hoped that the permanent Gallery will be ready for occupation in about two years. 1-3 CATALOGUE. The Numbers commence at the LEFT hand of the Entrance.
