The Royal Botanic Garden has delighted both plant-lovers and those just out for a casual stroll, for almost two centuries. The Botanics is one of Edinburgh's most peaceful tourist attractions, but it's also a noted centre for botanical and horticultural research, and houses the oldest botanical library in Britain. Kids love it too.
