Evelyn McEwan: A Tale of Two Halves

Watercolours by Evelyn McEwan, painted from Dawyck itself — the flowers, the hedgerows and fields, and the birds and animals found there. The exhibition hangs at the garden until the season closes.

What to expect:

• On until Monday 30 November 2026, open daily alongside the garden, 10am–5pm (10am–4pm in November)
• "Working mainly in watercolour, Evelyn's inspiration is taken from the Garden: the flowers, the hedgerows and fields, and the birds and animals found there"
• "Exhibition open daily, free entry" — the garden's own admission still applies to get in
• Indoors, so it is the dry half of a wet day at Dawyck
• Pair it with the 65 acres of woodland and burnside walks, the Dawyck Beech, the giant redwoods and the Cryptogamic Sanctuary
• Dawyck Cafe is open daily with breakfast, lunch, scones and home baking
• At Stobo near Peebles, 28 miles south of Edinburgh on the B712, with parking on site
