Step into a world of rare botanical treasures at Logan Botanic Garden, a true paradise nestled on Scotland’s south-western tip.
Thanks to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream, Logan enjoys an almost subtropical climate, allowing exotic plants from around the world to flourish. Its vibrant avenues and colourful borders showcase a spectacular array of half-hardy perennials and remarkable plant species rarely seen thriving elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

A Living Collection with a Global Reach
Established in 1869, Logan was gifted to the nation a century later, becoming a regional garden of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1969.
