The Fleming Collection is the finest collection of Scottish art in private hands and the only dedicated museum granting public access to Scottish art all year round. The collection comprises over 750 oils and watercolours from 1770 to the present day including works by Raeburn, Ramsay, Wilkie, and the iconic paintings of the Highland Clearances, The Last of the Clan by Thomas Faed and Lochaber No More by John Watson Nicol. It is particularly noted for its works by William McTaggart, the Glasgow Boys, D.Y. Cameron, Anne Redpath and a superb group of paintings by the Colourists. It remains a living collection through further acquisitions, focusing in particular on young Scottish artists.

Selected works from the Permanent Collection are displayed in Gallery Two which opened to the public in June 2011. Temporary exhibitions, drawn from both private and national collections, are held in Gallery One.

Both galleries close on occasion to accommodate events.
