37 beautiful Edinburgh parks and green spaces recognised with Green Flag Awards 2025

The award encourages councils and green space owners to take great care in making their spaces clean, safe and well-maintained in hopes to be recognised among the most beautiful parks in Scotland and the UK as a whole.

Green Flag Awards are administered by Keep Scotland Beautiful in Scotland and their aim is to ensure suitable green spaces and parks that the public can use for free to improve mental wellbeing and provide safe spaces for play and exercise.

Keep Scotland Beautiful encourages the public not to take Scotland's beauty for granted and hopes to inspire action to keep Scotland beautiful.

Thirty-seven green spaces, including Princes Street Gardens, in Edinburgh will be receiving a Green Flag Award this year. | National World
