Location

Botanics B&B is located on Inverleith Place, one of Edinburgh’s grandest streets. Inverleith Place is a wide, spacious street which runs alongside The Royal Botanic Gardens (North Gate) and Inverleith Park, culminating in the imposing gates of Fettes College.

The area of Inverleith is one of Edinburgh’s most lovely areas (certainly the greenest!) and it is an excellent location as it adjoins the elegant 18th century Georgian streets of New Town, the trendy Bohemian streets of Stockbridge, Broughton with it’s fantastic choice of bars and restaurants and Trinity. The fashionable docklands area of Leith is a quick taxi ride away.
