New Town Gardens, Designed landscape in New Town, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The New Town Gardens contain 30 private gardens and parks spread across Edinburgh's New Town Conservation Area, featuring terraces, lawns, and mature trees.
The gardens emerged between 1767 and 1850 during Edinburgh's New Town development, transforming the urban landscape with structured green spaces and walking paths.
Queen Street Central Gardens includes a pond with an island that influenced Robert Louis Stevenson during the creation of his novel Treasure Island.
Access to most gardens requires a key obtained through property ownership or approved residential applications within the City of Edinburgh.
The gardens cover 4.8 hectares and retain their original 19th-century layout, including ha-ha barriers that create visual separation between garden sections.
