Regent, Royal and Carlton Terrace Garden, Private communal garden in New Town, Edinburgh, Scotland.

The garden covers 4.8 hectares on the east side of Calton Hill, featuring six distinct lawns and a woodland section with diverse tree species.

Established between 1830 and 1832, the garden was developed with input from naturalist Patrick Neill and botanist Robert Graham, maintaining its original layout.

The gardens represent the largest privately owned New Town green space, managed by the Regent Royal and Carlton Terrace Gardens Association.

Visitors can access the gardens during annual Doors Open Days, with convenient transport links from Picardy Place tram stop and London Road bus stations.

The elevated position offers views across the Firth of Forth to Fife and southeast over Holyrood to Arthur's Seat mountain formation.
