Dog Access and Rules
Princes Street Gardens welcomes dogs, making it a popular spot for dog walkers and locals. While dogs are allowed throughout the park, keeping them on a lead is essential.
Things To See & Do
Located in the city centre, Princes Street Gardens were created in the 1820s after the draining of the Nor Loch, which had once filled the area where the gardens now stand. Divided into East and West Gardens, they provide a stunning backdrop to Edinburgh Castle.
The gardens are steeped in history, from the Scott Monument, dedicated to the famous writer Sir Walter Scott, to the Ross Bandstand, where concerts and events are held.
Most people come for a casual dog walk along the network of paths or on a sunny day to sit and relax away from the hustle of the city streets. It can be a welcome break for your dog away from the heavy footfall locations.
Access and Facilities
Princes Street Gardens are located in the very centre of Edinburgh, making them easily accessible on foot from almost anywhere in the city.
