    Visiting the Physic Garden

    This review is only for the Physic Garden, a new public garden that is free to access. I went to visit the garden after listening to a talk from staff at Holyroodhouse. When I visited the garden the Palace itself was still closed to the public but the garden was open from 9:30am to 4:30pm.

    Great visit and superb staff

    Access to the Palace was surprisingly good for a building of its age. A lift can take mobility impaired visitors up to the State Apartments. The Abbey ruins are accessible as is the gift shop, cafe and toilets.
