A safe space for families to connect with each other and nature
We are delighted to have access to a special space at Jock Tamson’s Gairden that we can use for some of our family connections work that takes place out in the community.
A perfect location for children and their families to come for Family Connections, Mediation and Group work, this working garden can be found on the banks of Duddingston Lock



About Jock Tamson’s Gairden
Jock Tamson’s Gairden is an open green space, which is home to community gardens in a beautiful, small parkland setting. Situated on the banks of Duddingston Loch under Arthur’s Seat with beautiful views of the Braid and Pentland hills, the Gairden is a peaceful and safe space for everyone who takes part in horticultural and landscaping activities or who simply visits to enjoy being outdoors. Jock Tamson’s Gairden is a new charity which is building upon the foundations laid down by Duddingston Kirk’s Glebe Project which has spent the last five years establishing the infrastructure necessary for both productive growing spaces and accessible recreation areas.
