St Andrews Botanic Garden is a beautiful living treasure in the heart of historic St Andrews, home to 8,000 species of plant representing biomes from around the world. Mature tree and shrub plantings enclose the garden and inspirational plant displays cover rock and scree hillsides, ponds, woodland and herbaceous borders. For families, there is a natural play area and seasonal activity trails.

Coming soon is the Tangled Bank, which will showcase the very best of north east Fife plant life. Incorporating sand dunes, meadows, glades, meandering grass paths and a boardwalk, the Tangled Bank will be a beautiful space to spend time.
