RBG of Edinburgh, 1.5 miles from the firth of Forth, not very
close.


The RBGE has an elevation of 134 meters.
Younter Botanic Garden at Benmore features a 450 foot high view
point.


And the YBG garden goes down to 15m above the sea.

RBGE is on a raised beach a few hundred yards from the sea at
Leith (an Edinburgh port). The elevation is 20 to 40 m, not 134 m
as you
claim. Figures from their own website below.

http://www.nts.org.uk/web/site/home/...056&NavId=5110

is a map showing the garden's true location at the edge of the
water, NOT as you claim "Crarae Gardens, 1000 feet from Loch
Fyne, not
very close"..


http://www.nts.org.uk/web/site/home/...053&NavId=5110
gives a map of Arduaine Garden, right on the coast and a maximum
100 ft above sealevel, NOT 239 ft as you claim.

The websites quoted belong to the Royal Botanical gardens (owners
of
Benmore and Edinburgh Botanical Garden) and The National Trust for
Scotland, owners of Arduaine, Inverewe and Crarae.

Janet you are an IDIOT you don't even read the web sites you cite.


Are you having some comprehension problems, Travis, or just not
keeping up with who said what, again? Which bit of those websites is
causing you difficulty? Do explain.
