Dawyck Botanic Garden

With over 300 years of tree planting, Dawyck is truly one of the world's finest arboreta, boasting some of the tallest trees in Britain, as well as exotic conifers and the unique Dawyck Beech.

Set amidst a picturesque glen in the heart of the Scottish Borders, majestic trees provide a magnificent backdrop for a series of delightful burnside walks, allowing you to enjoy the sights, fragrances and abundance of plants on display in this wonderful garden.

Dawyck is a magical place at any time of year, from swathes of snowdrops and daffodils in early spring to spectacular displays of azaleas, rhododendrons and pools of blue Himalayan poppies in early summer. The ever-changing kaleidoscope of seasonal tones culminates in autumn, when the garden foliage bursts into vivid hues of red, orange and gold and provides a breathtaking backdrop of colour. Join one of the guided walks held throughout the season with the garden's expert staff as they unearth some of Dawyck's secrets.
