My visit today, Thursday 29/10/20, was despite Covid restrictions enjoyable. Unfortunately not everything was open. I was impressed by the Stuart Duthin Jerusalem exhibition and hope that everything soon returns to normal.

I ordered several prints as gifts , a mirror and a printed tote bag. The items arrived speedily and were great quality. The prints are lovely and very colourful. Two free postcards with my initials on were also included. I particularly like my gin printed tote bag & l would recommend Diedoda to anyone looking for a gift or for themselves

Helpful and friendly staff who make you feel like a valued customer. Great communication and excellent service. By far the best gallery I've used in the Edinburgh area.

I cannot sing the praises of The Red Door Gallery high enough.
Many years ago I bought an Art print from here, had a lovely time & left.
I’ve recently wanted the same print again - years later, but couldn't find it anywhere.
Kathryn the Caped Crusader came to my rescue & not only sourced the prints (I wanted x2) but gathered them to her & posted them on to me.
I’m absolutely ‘cockahoop’.
THAT my friend, is customer service.

It’s a lovely wee photo gallery in the heart of Edinburgh, in the old town. They exhibit photos and offer courses. I’ve visited several times and have had the honour of having a photo of mine exhibited digitally there. I recommend.

So good to be able to absorb some culture!! Obviously it was time slotted and distanced, with a strict one way route, but in some ways that was positive because it forced us to stop and look at some pieces we might have overlooked. Overall, it did wonders for our wellbeing and was a proper birthday treat outing in these strange times.

Friendly staff with a good range of materials, but mainly surface level. If you're looking for specific professional art tools you may be out of luck. Anything else is well covered. Good for artists who need to top up perishables.
Want more? Let me help you find the best street art in the area of New Town or Old Town or Royal Mile.
