Branklyn Garden

Branklyn Garden is a hillside National Trust for Scotland botanical garden near Perth, open daily from late March to early November and for a fortnight in February. Well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome throughout the garden and inside the tearoom, so the whole group can enjoy the plant collections and stop for refreshments together. The garden sits on a slope with a step-free route, though there is some incline to navigate.

Dogs must stay on a short lead and under close control as you explore the paths and borders. The tearoom offers both indoor and outdoor seating and dogs are welcome in both areas.

With a shop, visitor facilities and one of Scotland's most regarded small gardens to wander through, Branklyn makes a rewarding outing when you want somewhere beautiful that genuinely welcomes dogs inside as well as out. The main National Trust car park is at Fairmount Terrace, around 200 metres from the entrance, with accessible parking available at the garden itself.
