Edinburgh's New Town and Its Gardens
  • Edinburgh Fringe

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

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
