The Royal Botanic Garden is just north of the New Town. Scotlands premier garden, its showpiece features are the rhododendrons, which arc at their colorful best from late April to early June. Other attractions arc the Glasshouse Experience, where orchids, palms and other exotics flourish in defiance of Scotland's less than tropical climate; the Chinese Hillside, and a decidedly Scottish heather garden.
