Branklyn Garden

A small garden in the eastern outskirts of the city of Perth, Branklyn garden is located on the Dundee road to the east of the River Tay. Described as "the finest two acres of private garden in the country", it was bequeathed to the National Trust for Scotland in 1967 by chartered land agent John T Renton CBE who, with his wife, began planting on the site of a former orchard in 1922. The garden contains an outstanding collection of rhododendrons, alpines, herbaceous and peat-garden plants.
