CAFÈ ROYAL BOOKS

We produce three major photography exhibitions each year and host a range of other displays. Entry is free and our gallery is open five days a week from 11am—5pm.

Across our exhibition programme we have three key priorities: to present historic work from collections and archives; to bring internationally renowned photography to Scotland; and to showcase new work by artists based in Scotland, particularly those at an early stage of their careers.
