stobo, near Peebles

Flowers and plants can brighten up any day – and Dawyck aims to do that all year round.

Under the auspices of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, it is hailed as being one of the finest arboreta anywhere in the world.

It’s all quite spectacular, but if you wanted to get your camera out then the Azalea Terrace is the place to head and gasp in late spring especially. Dawyck Botanic Garden Stobo near Peebles EH45 9JU 01721 760 254 rbge.org.uk/the-gardens/ dawyck
