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.
