Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

On a beautiful sunny day it's worth visiting the Royal Botanic Garden. The beautiful garden has been growing for over 330 years and you will find here collections of live collections, herbariums and world-class libraries.

On a beautiful sunny day it's worth visiting the Royal Botanic Garden. The beautiful garden has been growing for over 330 years and you will find here collections of live collections, herbariums and world-class libraries. The Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh acquired during the 20th century three regional gardens - the Benmore mountain in Argyll; Dawyck in the wooded hills of the Scottish frontier and Logan on the southern peninsula of the Gulf Stream-heated Dumfries & Galloway. Together they represent one of the largest living collections of plants in the world.

The garden is largely barrier-free and the public buildings have balanced or raised access to the ground floor. All trails within the area are asphalt and therefore quite easy with a buggy. The entrance to the gardens is free, only a visit to the greenhouse is charged.

Transportation to the garden is possible by regular buses with low-floor access (Lothian bus 8, 23, 27) to the eastern gate of the Inverleith Order. Extensive parking is available around the gardens and on the side streets. Parking is free at weekends and dinners. Find more at: http://www.rbge.org.uk
