The gallery, which openned in 1974, is located in a building which was originally built as a fruit and vegetable market in 1938.

The Fruitmarket is centrally located in Edinburgh's city centre, and close to Edinburgh's Waverley station. It has an excellent café which is well used and a great bookshop which stocks art, architecture, design and photography books and magazines, along with a great range of books for children.

Recent shows have included international artists such as Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Cai Guo-Qiang, Alex Hartley and Roman Signer. Scottish contemporary artists are also well-represented by the likes of Callum Innes, Christine Borland, Nathan Coley, Louise Hopkins and Lucy Skaer.
