Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Love hearts light up the Botanics this year, creating the perfect place to capture photos with friends and family.

A World Premiere. Seeds are a powerful symbol of renewal, and of new beginnings. They offer a genuine promise of the future and a reminder of nature's generosity.

The Garden's Hungarian Oak (Quercus frainetto) is wrapped in strips of neon to create a dynamic light show.

Large water lily lanterns float gracefully on the pond by the Chinese hillside.

A World premiere. A flock of butterflies seem to fly above the heads of the visitor, in an enchanting and mesmerising ballet.

Tree Rays is a dynamic colour-changing light show set among the trees in the garden.

Hundreds of spheres appear to tumble down the hillside, as part of this spectacular light and sound moment on the trail.

Natural bamboo that has been hand-drilled and lit inside, shines intricate patterns on to the ground, on either side of the path.

A festive story told using lights and animation projected onto the front of the house.

As you pass Father Christmas' garden, why not give him a wave, and say hello? He'll be delighted to deliver a little seasonal fun as you walk by.

Using custom-made laser effects, the path and all around, becomes completely immersed in thousands of slowly rotating coloured points of laser light. The light pierces through the added mist to create a fun and playful area that captures the imaginations of children and adults alike.

Our fire gardens are accompanied by contemplative music and created using bespoke structures that fill the garden with patterns of real fire.

Trees made from thousands of LEDs create a magical animated light show with lots of sparkle.

A flock of oversized birds with neon-lit feathers hovers among the trees.

This immersive, welcoming tunnel of warm light is equally spectacular when viewed from the inside or out. Inspired by arched church windows and appearing from a distance to be a single solid shape, the Christmas Cathedral is illuminated by tens of thousands of LED lights.

Thousands of twinkling fibre optic blades of light move in waves across the ground.

Liquid Lake is created using coloured laser beams and fog to produce a layer of light, that rises and falls and creates a striking show moment on the surface of the water.
