I certainly remember have to walk over a decontamination mat there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20237#post-332254 Fri, 19 Jun 2020 08:17:30 +0000 chdot 332254@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are gates along from JH which might have been used. I wonder if they will be used now instead of ‘shop entrance’. </p> <p>North gate was used for the light show when I went. Can’t remember if that was first or second year. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20237#post-332253 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 23:50:25 +0000 acsimpson 332253@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did the North gate not used to be open? Possibly before (or while) the new John Hope building was constructed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20237#post-332244 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 21:12:40 +0000 chdot 332244@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“only has 2 gates“</p> <p>There are actually more (not in regular public use), but two is ideal for a one-way system!</p> <p>I presume they won’t actually try to do that? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20237#post-332241 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 20:59:10 +0000 Rosie 332241@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saughton Gardens has been opened for a month or so. I suppose it's got a lot more access points than the Botanics, which only has 2 gates. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20237#post-332228 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 16:46:54 +0000 chdot 332228@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/royal-botanic-garden-edinburgh-set-reopen-scotland-moves-phase-two-easing-lockdown-measures-2888438" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/royal-botanic-garden-edinburgh-set-reopen-scotland-moves-phase-two-easing-lockdown-measures-2888438</a> </p>
