Dundee Botanic Garden

📌 Dundee City
★★★

Dundee Botanic Garden belongs to the city’s namesake university, and is probably our favourite park in Dundee – there is an admission charge to enter. The garden spreads along a slope overlooking Dundee Airport and the Firth of Tay, with good spots to watch planes landing or departing (though scheduled flights are infrequent). Back to the botanics: a tropical glasshouse and herb garden occupy the west end, while heading east there are various (small) continental zones, from native Scottish species to Asian and Australasian plants.
