| Art collector Henry Vaughan wanted everyone to see his watercolours by J M W Turner - but he wanted them to survive, too. So, he left them to the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh on the condition they were only put on display in January, when the light was least likely to damage them. Go and see the 38 paintings in their preserved glory today at the Scottish National Gallery on The Mound. | |||
