    Even though the summer flowers were long gone, there were really really beautiful autumn colours everywhere I went! Each section of the garden was beautifully put together and had so many important plants from all over the world! The glasshouses were closed for maintenance during my visit but I still enjoyed every second I spent there. Made me relaxed and reinvigorated my love and fascination with plant life! There are some truly rare and amazing plants and trees if you know where to look!

    I enjoyed a peaceful stroll about through the giant poppies and rhododendron. Most specimens are labelled, so you can at least find out the real name of something. The beds are well tended and paths clear. As this is a free attraction, it is well worth a good wander and maybe buy a coffee. A shame that the glasshouses are closed at the moment, but the developments planned will add more interest and habitat areas to enhance the collections. I look forward to going back once the development work is completed.

    One of the nicest places in Edinburgh. We had a little picnic on the lawn and it was beautiful. So many interesting plants and very aesthetically pleasing. Large enough to be peaceful and spacious without being so large that it’s really tiring to walk around. There are maps at the major intersections. They also do ‘Christmas at the Botanics’ in December, which is a wonderful event and the perfect photo op.

    Truly beautiful! My only tip would be to leave a good time slot to visit so that you have time to walk around the whole park. Took off a star just because a lot of the areas within the park that I wanted to see were closed. Definitely worth the visit though!

    This place is lovely to visit, even if your not into plants it's so colourful and peaceful in parts of it. Great place to switch off and unwind for a few hours As long as its booked in advance mobile scooters are available for the disabled as well at no cost. Although you can pay a £5 donation if your so inclined. There is a nice outside cafe to get good coffee from as well with a reasonable amount of seating available. Only caveat for next couple of years at least is the glass houses won't be open as a major renovation will be on going for this period at least. So don't expect access to any of them for now. Overall it's well worth a visit though.
