DAWYCK BOTANIC GARDEN

On 26 hectares nestled between the hills of the Borders, the Dawyck Botanic Garden is a direct dependency of the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh, of which it is a relocated branch. The continental climate of the site allows the cultivation of snowdrops, hyacinths, rhododendrons, azaleas, Himalayan blue poppies and many other species. He also holds one of the finest collections of ancient trees in Scotland. Several paths are marked out to make the most of the gardens and each visit is different according to the season.
