Dawyck Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom.

The 65-acre garden contains collections from Nepal, Chile, and China, featuring diverse tree species along the Scrape Burn watercourse through mountainous terrain.

The Veitch family established the garden in the 17th century, followed by the Naesmith family in 1691, who supported expeditions by plant explorer David Douglas.

The garden serves as a Regional Garden of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, maintaining collections of international plants and supporting scientific research.

Visitors can access the garden from February through November, with dedicated parking facilities and direct bus connections from Edinburgh.

The Heron Wood Reserve within Dawyck stands as the first designated conservation area specifically for mosses, liverworts, lichens, and fungi worldwide.
