Edinburgh and Botanical Gardens

Discover a spectacular array of plants from around the globe, explore one of the richest Living Collections in the world, and uncover a fascinating history that stretches back to the 17th century.

Just one mile north of Edinburgh’s city centre, the Garden spans over 70 acres of stunning landscape and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline. Affectionately known as "The Botanics" by locals, the Garden offers an unforgettable experience in every season.

Highlights include the Rock Garden, the Alpine Houses, the peaceful Woodland Garden, the Pond, the Arboretum, the Chinese Hillside, the vibrant Rhododendron Collection, and the Scottish Native Plants Collection within the Heath Garden.

Beyond its beauty, the Garden is a living centre for global plant research, conservation, and learning. With every visit, you’re helping protect our botanic world and supporting our vision to build a better future for plants, people, and the planet.Read more
