Ian Hamilton Finlay’s poetic garden in the Pentland Hills, an hour from central Edinburgh, is a celebration of the idea that art doesn’t only belong in galleries, and poems don’t always live in books. Little Sparta is one of the treasures of the 20th century and often described as Scotland’s greatest work of art.
A weekly bus to Little Sparta will run every Sunday during August from St Andrews Sq. The bus will leave Edinburgh at 11.30am, and depart the garden at 3.30pm.
