The Garden of Cosmic Speculation Scotland

Open to the public only

one day a year, the

Garden of CosmicSpeculation takes

science and maths as its

inspiration. Quite

simply, there isn't

another garden like it in

the world. It was set up

in 1989 without the

usual ideas people have

when they create a

garden. Horticultural

displays very much takesecond place in this

garden. Instead, it is

designed with ideas in

mind - and to provoke

thought (or at least

speculation) about the

very nature of things.

beds, the Orangerie, the

fountains and the Canal,

where previously only

woods, grasslands andmarshes were. The

earth was transported in

wheelbarrows, the trees

were conveyed by cart
