Branklyn Garden

Visit Branklyn Gardens
Map of this area

Every group that I have ever guided around Scotland has visited Branklyn Gardens. It's an absolute " must visit." Described as the "finest two acres of private gardens in the UK," Branklyn Gardens are located on the way out of the city of Perth, on the road towards Dundee. The garden was started in 1922 on the site of a former orchard and was taken over by the National Trust for Scotland in 1967. It has a wonderful collection of plants and is particularly colourful in the spring time when the rhododendrons and many alpine plants are in bloom. Botanists come from all over the world to see it. The gardens are open from 9.30am until sunset (which in the summer time can be well into the evening).

If you would like to visit this area as part of a highly personalized small group tour of my native Scotland, or would like more information please e-mail me:
