In the artist's impression in view 1 (above) the new access to the galleries can be seen in the centre of the picture immediately above the grass area.  The grass area has been used as a putting green in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter.

View 2 (below) also shows the proposed extension, but this view is from the south with an outline of the Princes Street buildings in the background.
