Discover the grandeur of Georgian Edinburgh through buildings and gardens designed to impress. Edinburgh's New Town is a World Heritage site and the largest, best preserved example of Georgian planning in the UK. Controversially, it still retains dozens of communal, private gardens, many by Act of Parliament. See beyond the railings of two private New Town gardens: visit East Queen Street Garden for its Grecian temple and wonderful ancient trees, then Central Queen Street Garden to see the pond where, as a child, Robert Louis Stevenson began to imagine a treasure island. www.greenyondertours.com
