Edinburgh’s iconic Palm Houses have reopened to the public following years of restoration work.
The historic glasshouses at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh welcomed visitors again over the weekend, giving the public the chance to see their rare collection of plants.
The reopening was marked by the Palm Houses being illuminated after dark, with aerial footage showing the Georgian and Victorian structures glowing above the capital’s skyline.
The glasshouses have undergone extensive renovation, restoring the historic structures and creating a new setting for the plants housed inside.
The Palm Houses are among the most recognisable features of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and are once again open to visitors following the restoration.
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh was founded in 1670 and is home to a National Botanic Collection of more than 13,500 plant species.
The organisation welcomes around one million visitors each year across its four gardens in Edinburgh, Benmore, Logan and Dawyck.
The A-listed Front Range Glasshouses remain closed while they await future restoration as part of the wider Edinburgh Biomes project.
