About this place
Renowned for its peaceful atmosphere, Malleny is the place to come for quiet contemplation in beautiful surroundings. The garden is a haven for plant lovers thanks to a large variety of colourful and fragrant flowers and shrubs.
Through a decorated wrought-iron gate, the walled garden opens out to the Four Evangelists – huge 400-year-old clipped yew trees. Victorian greenhouses and heritage rose plantings complete the picture of cultivated calm.
Just outside the garden is a doocot with an unusual saddle-backed roof.
Our volunteer gardener Bob offers a closer look at some of the stunning blooms that can be seen during the year at Malleny Garden, on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
From Georgian grandeur in Edinburgh’s New Town to a living museum of Victorian printing in Innerleithen, there’s so much to discover in Edinburgh, the Lothians and the Borders.
