Johnston Terrace Garden

Johnston Terrace Garden is a charming corner of greenery in the heart of Edinburgh, located just outside the historic castle. This small garden is managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust and is a true oasis of wildlife in an urban landscape.

The site has a rich history - it sits on the site of the first Gaelic Chapel, dating back to 1769, as a commemorative plaque reminds us. The garden is part of Patrick Geddes' vision to increase green space in the city.

It's the perfect place for a quiet stroll and a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, where you can admire how a once neglected urban area has been transformed into a vibrant space.
