Edinburgh is quite rightly regarded as a green city, with parks, waterways and gardens combining to provide home to a huge amount of wildlife. This site aims to document that wildlife in photo form, and make it easy for you to see just what shares the city with us, and where you might find it.

Welcome  Established in the late 1970's and opened officially in 1982, Gorgie City Farm is known by several generations of visitors. The farm has become a well established, favourite place to visit for many people in Edinburgh and the Lothians, and for some, we seem to be hidden away, screened from the busy traffic in Gorgie Road. The farm, with it's animals and gardens, has always been considered as a place to visit, relax and see what is new, and of course with no admission charge, people can call in for short visits, to have lunch, or just to take some fresh air even on the most dismal winter's day. We are proud that the farm is all inclusive, open to all, and has something for everyone whatever their background or abilities. It is also surprising to many people to find the wide range of services and activities that can be found in such a small place. Have a look at this website and see what we can offer. Better still, call in to the farm and see for yourself. Finally, I would like to point out that the farm is here for the community, and it depends on support from many people and in many ways. We receive grants for various projects, donations from individuals and organizations, and we provide services that are paid for by the public, but most of all the farm depends on volunteers, working with animals, in the gardens, in the office, with visitors and on the board of trustees. If you would like to be involved, please speak to any member of the farm's staff.
