Christmas at the Botanics
19–30November to December
A garden lit up on a winter's evening is one of the nicest things about the weeks before Christmas, and Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden is doing it again this year. Christmas at the Botanics is an illuminated trail through the garden, with music playing as you walk. The Christmas Cathedral and the Fire Garden are back, and there's a new glowing Light Sphere. You can stop for a hot chocolate or something to eat on the way round. The trail is on from 19 November to 30 December, and tickets are booked for a date and time. Choose the East Gate on Inverleith Row if you're coming by bus or on foot, or the West Gate on Arboretum Place by car or taxi.
