The gallery space influences our curation decisions: we select works that create dialogue with each other and with the physical environment of Stockbridge itself.

The Heart of Edinburgh's Art District

The historic cobbled lanes and St Stephen's Church tower create the perfect backdrop for Graystone Gallery's presence in Stockbridge, Edinburgh's culturally rich art district just minutes from our Hamilton Place location.

Stockbridge's Artistic Heritage

Stockbridge has evolved from a quaint village into one of Edinburgh's most culturally rich quarters. Its historic architecture, with Georgian terraced houses and cobbled lanes, has long attracted creative souls.

In fact, Henry Raeburn, a famed 19th-century painter, made his home here and helped imbue the area with a bohemian charm that persists today. Nearly two hundred years after Raeburn, Stockbridge remains home to many of Edinburgh's creative residents and hosts artist-led spaces like the Patriothall Studios, known for innovative contemporary art exhibitions.

Our gallery exterior, with its distinctive charcoal grey façade and elegant signage, maintains the architectural character of Hamilton Place while establishing Graystone Gallery as a contemporary presence in this historic art district.

Our Place in the Community

Graystone Gallery builds on Stockbridge's artistic tradition by spotlighting contemporary Scottish art and supporting the local art ecosystem. As one of Edinburgh's newest fine art destinations, we work with both emerging and established Scottish artists, fostering meaningful connections between creators and collectors.

Our regular artist talks and exhibition openings contribute to the neighbourhood's cultural vibrancy, while our accessible approach to art collecting strengthens Stockbridge's reputation as an inclusive art district. As you can see from our opening night photographs, these events bring together diverse groups of art enthusiasts in lively, engaging conversations about Scottish art.

The welcoming atmosphere of our openings reflects our commitment to making art accessible to everyone, from seasoned collectors to those just beginning their art journey.

Experience Stockbridge

Make a Day of It

Your visit to Graystone Gallery can be the centrepiece of a perfect day in Stockbridge. Begin with a morning stroll along the Water of Leith Walkway to admire St. Bernard's Well, a neoclassical temple-like structure dating back to 1789.

Just minutes away, the picturesque Dean Village offers quaint photo opportunities among its 19th-century stone buildings. After visiting our gallery, explore Stockbridge's independent boutiques and the award-winning Golden Hare Books on St. Stephen Street.

For refreshments, we recommend The Pantry for brunch, Artisan Roast Stockbridge for exceptional coffee, or The Scran and Scallie for modern Scottish cuisine. Other options include Purslane and The Raeburn. The common thread is a commitment to local quality: much like Graystone Gallery itself curates the best of local art, these eateries pride themselves on Scottish ingredients and a welcoming ambience.

On Sundays, don't miss the bustling Stockbridge Market at Jubilee Gardens, where local artisans and food producers gather from 10am to 4pm.
