Fundraising for the Duke of Sutherland's Titians may have stopped the National Gallery in London from acquiring other new works - but not in Edinburgh. Recently added to the collection are Entrance to the Cuiraing, 1873, by Waller Hugh Paton (1828-1895), and Portrait of Jean Francois Regnault, 1815, by Jean-Baptiste, Baron Regnault (1754-1829), above. The latter is apparently the first work by Regnault to enter a UK public collection, and has been given to the gallery by a private donor. Good for them - thanks! More details here.
