Address: Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Inverleith Row, Edinburgh EH3 5LR- Outdoors
- Free
- Best in Spring, Summer
Wander 70 acres of free gardens, from the rock garden and its pond to the Chinese hillside, with a view of the castle and skyline from the high ground.
Why it's a good date: Calm, green and never too busy, even at weekends. The glasshouses are closed for restoration, so save it for a dry day and walk on to Stockbridge afterwards.
