Summary

Description
English: Stone Pavilion, Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.
  • Designed by the architect Lachlan Stewart and horticultural staff at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, 'The Queen Mother's Memorial Garden' has as its focal point the stone pavilion shown here.
  • Its internal walls are adorned with shells collected by school children around the country and the ceiling is decorated with pine cones from the four National Botanic Gardens of Scotland - Edinburgh, Benmore, Dawyck and Logan.
  • The Royal Botanic Garden is Edinburgh's hidden gem. Founded in 1670 as a small physic (medicinal) garden near to Holyrood House, it was moved to its present location during the 1820s and has since expanded to cover an area of 31 hectares (78 acres).
  • Laid out with great skill and taste in many different styles, it's well worth a visit. Admission is free, although there's a modest charge for entry to the splendid glass houses.
