Website terms / 2026

Using this botanical atlas

Independent information for planning and observation—not a booking service, an access guarantee or a substitute for current official advice.

Publisher and scope

This website is published by Cedarwhirlscand Ltd, company no. SC792418, 42 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 2LE, United Kingdom. It provides general editorial information about gardens and botanical travel. Contact [email protected] with questions about these terms.

We do not act as a tour operator, travel agent, ticket seller or representative of the institutions described. No affiliation, endorsement, private access arrangement or commercial partnership is implied by mentioning a place or linking to its website.

Check before you commit

Collections, opening arrangements, transport, access conditions and weather change. Seasonal descriptions are indicative, not promises. Suggested pairings and route structures are editorial ideas, not confirmed itineraries. Verify all material details with the relevant institution, transport operator and public authorities before booking or travelling.

The site is not personalised medical, accessibility, legal, immigration or plant import advice. Follow official warnings, local law, site rules and staff instructions. Do not rely on a general article to decide whether a particular route or activity is safe for you.

Correspondence tool

The Contact page prepares plain text locally. It does not send a message, make a reservation or create a support ticket. Clipboard access depends on your browser and permissions; a downloaded file remains on your device. Check the generated text before sharing it. You are responsible for sending any correspondence through your chosen email service.

Do not use the site or correspondence addresses for unlawful material, harassment, malicious code, unsolicited bulk messages or attempts to compromise systems.

Content and intellectual property

Original editorial text and site design are protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may read the site, link to its pages and make personal, non-commercial copies. Any statutory quotation, accessibility or other lawful use remains unaffected. Seek permission before substantial republication or commercial reuse.

Institution names and third-party marks belong to their respective owners. Photographs may have separate rights and licence conditions; inclusion on this website does not grant permission for further use. Do not imply an endorsement by the publisher or a featured institution.

External services and availability

External links are provided for reference. We do not control those websites, their availability, their content or their contracts. Transactions with a third party are governed by that party’s terms. We may revise or remove articles and cannot guarantee uninterrupted website availability.

Responsibility and applicable law

We aim to provide useful, accurate information, but cannot promise that every statement remains complete or current. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses caused by treating general editorial material as a confirmed travel arrangement or by relying on third-party services.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

These terms are governed by Scots law. The Scottish courts have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights you may have to bring proceedings in another court under applicable consumer law. Changes to these terms apply from publication and do not remove rights already protected by law.
