Canonmills

Botanics and Inverleith

Canonmills is the area around the Royal Botanic Garden and Inverleith Park, north of the New Town.

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh says its Palm Houses have reopened. Inverleith Park next door is a large park with sports pitches, a play area and allotments, and St Marks Park is a small park on a bend of the Water of Leith.

Getting there

Buses run from the city centre to Inverleith, and the garden is also reached on foot from Stockbridge.
