l New exhibitions from the £26.5 million collection of leading art dealer and collector Anthony d'Offay will take place in the Scottish Borders and Morayshire.
The collection, bought for the nation in 2008 by the National Galleries of Scotland and the Tate, is being shown across the UK for the fifth time in 2013.
Sixteen venues will show works of art from the unique collection which totals more than 700 works by leading contemporary artists such as Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Mapplethorpe, Gilbert and George, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Andy Warhol.
Titled Artist Rooms, the collection has a remit to be shown in galleries across the country, and next year's shows will feature exhibition in Edinburgh, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Falkirk, Findhorn, and Galashiels.
By the end of 2013, art from the collection will have been shown in 54 museums and galleries nationwide.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
