Stunning park not too far from Edinburgh named one of best in UK for cherry blossoms

Nature lovers always love this time of year as winter fully gives way to spring and the sunshine returns meaning we can get outside and enjoy the greenery returning.

One of the best spring spectacles is the eruption of pink-like confetti flowers in the form of blossoms lining our streets and parks.

And one park in particular, that is not too far from the capital has been picked out as one of the best in the UK to see them.

Researchers at Sun Bingo have created a ‘Blossom Hotspot’ index, scoring individual locations mapped around the UK out of 10, having retrieved data based on the number of Google searches, size of park and time it would take to walk the park; officially ranking where to see the UK’s prettiest blossoms.

'The Glen' as it is more commonly known by locals, was the only Scottish beauty spot to make the top 10 overall, and the 76-acre park is home to numerous gardens that are ideal for a stroll as you enjoy the beauty of these wonderful trees.
