Lovely pictures Carol, I would love to go there.  I remember the Himalayan poppies from when I lived in Oban.  One day I will make myself an acid soil bed so I can grow Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Pieris as well as the poppies of course.   ;D ;D

I really must get across Carol.  Mind you, I've not been to the Glasgow one yet !

My Himalayan poppies (of which i sowed 5 and very carefully kept apart from everything else) seem to have turned into my red/black poppies !!  I REALLY must label every pot in future.

Thanks for the pics, we keep saying we're going to go out for the day, so now I know where we can go.

;D

Lovely pictures.  Haven't been there for years,everytime we go to Edinburgh we end up in the zoo or in Butterfly world. I don't mind really but I must insist on going to the Botanical Gardens next time. (Thats me putting my virtual foot down haha!)
