Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
The Biomes Project includes extensive refurbishment of the Victorian palm houses and the 1960s 'front-range' glasshouses and construction of a new glasshouse linking to the front range houses. The development will secure the future of the Royal Botanic Garden's globally significant plant collection and provide a rejuvenated visitor experience.
The Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, is situated ¾ of a mile north of Princes Street, almost immediately to the north of the Stockbridge Colonies. Originating as a 17th century 'physic garden' located near Holyrood Abbey the gardens moved to their current site in Inverleith in 1820. The gardens expanded over the subsequent decades, incorporating Inverleith House and its grounds in the late 1870s. Notable features of the garden include the Victorian Temperate Palm House, the tallest of its kind in Britain, the Rock Garden with its range of Alpine plants, and the Chinese Hillside section with its outstanding collection of Chinese plants.
