This has to by favourite place (just outside) Edinburgh. It is an absolutely treat to walk through this exquisite parkland filled with sculptural treasures. It is a hassle to get there on public transport abs pretty easy by car, but you will not be disappointed. A great restaurant and cafe there too.
