A Day at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Scotland.
Just found this old video on The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on my Mac and thought it'd be nice during lockdown to upload it. I filmed it a couple of years ago and the quality isn't great, but hopefully it might still be of interest. I've been going to the Edinburgh Botanics since I was a child and it's still one of my favourite places in Edinburgh.

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has been in its present location since 1820 and is the second oldest botanic gardens in the UK, with a collection of over 15,000 plant species. The Chinese Hillside Garden is home to the largest collection of wild origin Chinese plants outside China and the magnificent Glasshouses, with ten different climatic zones, contain a fantastic array of exotic plants.

All tips go towards funding more videos and films - thank you so much for your support :-)

The John Hope Gateway visitor centre, which you see in the video, has an excellent restaurant and shop which is well worth a visit. It's free to get in to the Botanics, although there is a small charge to enter the Glasshouses which goes towards their upkeep. The Botanics are located at Inverleith Row EH3 5LR and you can find out more about visiting the Edinburgh botanics at www.rbge.org.uk. Here's hoping lockdown will be lifted soon so we can all visit and enjoy these wonderful gardens again.
