A grand detour to Saughton Park

 Located in beautiful grounds beside a stretch of the Water of Leith, is one of Edinburgh's true gems.

   The balance of natural and cultivated spaces is a glorious testament to the expertise
    of gardeners past and present

   Photos taken on one of the sunniest days of the year and can't possibly do justice to the plants and     gardens. If only one person is inspired to visit...job done!

    A small selection of the many varieties of  roses in the gardens

Entering by the Water of Leith, is to step into a tranquil woodland area.

The gardens sit within these beautiful old walls.

Topiary delights...

Selections from the Wild Garden, a haven for bees and butterflies....

Stunning walkways and majestic trees ....

Entrance to the sensory garden

A few more nooks and crannies

     Wren

That's all folks...now come and see for yourself.

p.s Just outside the gardens is a play park and a major Skate board / Cycle park
