Inveresk Village

Inveresk, Musselburgh EH21 7TE
The Gardeners of Inveresk
Current Openings:
Description: Inveresk Village, with cultivation going back to the Roman era, has a broad range of gardens including a television star, one complementing an eco house, one large, tiered garden and a garden around a more modern bungalow which is being redesigned for the 21st century. The National Trust for Scotland property, Inveresk Lodge Garden, has great potential for children with pond dipping an ever-popular pursuit at this venue. A circular trail features Musselburgh’s highly-rated allotments and passes a very interesting topiary hedge in Double Dykes. The mix of a total of nine large and small gardens, flourishing in a relatively dry climate, will offer visitors many ideas to think over when they return home

Directions: Southside of Musselburgh on the A6124. The 140 bus stops in the village. Spreading visits over two days has been integral in preventing dangerous parking congestion. It is essential that able-bodied people who arrive by car do not park on the main A6124 road running through the village as this impedes smooth emergency vehicle movements. Please use the designated parking areas if you arrive by car.

Other details: Tickets can be purchased here online or at the table in the centre of the village where a map is available. Please bring your own mug as we wish to minimise our environmental impact. There is plenty of seating; Luca’s Ice cream is available both days so if you indulge in a strong coffee, you could make a very nice affogato - a nip of Speyside could turn it into a Highland Fling. Elinor Evans  will  play her Clarsach on both afternoons, thanks to a donation from  Mulsane Motor Racing Club (Saturday at The Green House and Sunday at Shepherd House).  Mac plants will have a stall to sell plants at The Green House.
