Scotland's gardens and parks

Stroll along ancient avenues of rustling beeches, breathe in the perfume of colourful flowerbeds, and watch stealthy herons as they search for lunch in tinkling streams. Whenever you visit, there's always something new in Scotland's gardens, parks, woodlands and plant nurseries to discover. From our four Royal Botanic Gardens and beautiful urban green spaces to historic castle gardens and country parks, there are over 400 gardens to visit in Scotland.
