Hidden away on the most famous street in the city!

It is easy to miss the entrance to this drowsily peaceful hidden garden, a few steps off The Royal Mile just past Canongate Kirk. Created by the visionary Sir Patrick Geddes as one of a network of Old Town gardens, it was immaculately restored in the late 1970s. A beautifully kept recreation of a 17th-century garden, it is a series of small, delightfully private rooms. If it’s fine, grab a picnic from Mimi’s Picnic Parlour (mimisbakehouse.com) on your way down the Canongate to eat sitting on one of the tiny lawns at the very end of the garden.

A small courtyard garden just off the Royal Mile. Beautiful flowers in Spring and Summer and a quiet spot to escape the crowds.

A place not even lots of locals know about, Dunbar’s Close Gardens is worth a look. It has been laid out in the style and character of a 17th century garden. Trees and manicured bushes create a shady area at the entrance, opening out into a suntrap full of lovely flowers, fruit trees and unusual plants. The garden was created by Sir Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) who lived on the Royal Mile at the time. He was an eminent Scots biologist who stressed the connection between health and the environment. Geddes had the vision for a network of inner city gardens, of which Dunbar’s Close is one. The garden was restored from wilderness in 1978. Entry is free.
