About this place
Compiled from the listed sources below — not a first-hand account.
Benmore Botanic Garden is a Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh outpost on the Cowal Peninsula near Dunoon, on Scotland's west coast. Its signature feature is the Redwood Avenue, an entrance drive lined with giant sequoias planted in 1863 — among the earliest of the species grown in Britain, and now home to some of the tallest giant sequoias in Europe. Paid entry; open seasonally (roughly March/April to October).
