As RBGE opens its stylish new visitor centre focused on plant biodiversity, an opportunity is taken to display artefacts and books relating to John Hope (1725-1786), the RBGE Regius Keeper in whose honour the building is named. Hope was a pioneering Scottish botanist and a leading Scottish Englightenment figure, who established and developed RBGE on a new site at Leith Walk.

Monday-Friday only.
