A wee oasis of peace and calm just 50m from the top of the Royal Mile (which is overflowing with vistors!) Scotland's smallest wildlife reserve is situated in the heart of Edinburgh and maintained by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. The reserve is open to the public from 10am to 6pm during the Edinburgh Art Festival (26 July - 26 Aug 2018). The space is usually closed to visitors, but local residents and members of SWT may have keys for access.

5/ 5

Possibly the smallest ever nature reserve but it packs an artistic punch. Look out for open days (usually during the Edinburgh Art Festival or one of the guided walks as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe). It really is a very special place in the heart of the city. If you get a chance to have a peeked behind the usually locked gates, GO!
