Inverness Botanic Garden is a botanical garden in Bught Park, Inverness, Scotland.

History

Inverness Botanic Garden is the most northerly botanic garden in the United Kingdom. Opened by Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh in 1993, it is home to two glasshouses: a humid tropical house and a cactus house. There are also gardens which are used for local education purposes, as well as kitchen garden and onsite cafe.

The gardens lie on the grounds of an 18th-century stately home, Bught House. The walled garden once attached to the house now forms the modern garden.

Within the trees in the garden is a Himalayan birch.
