The botanical gardens are as nice as any you would go and see. It's just greenery basically - although here in Edinburgh, the greenery is exceptionally green, and the grass is exceptionally soft. Alex, being the Environmentalist, pointed out that all the plants you can see here are actually different strains of the Australian indigenous plant, 'Kangaroo Paw'. We strolled through the gardens as they were kind of on the way to the pub.
