Astley Ainslie Hospital was designed to foster health and recovery through contact with nature and there is plenty to see within its acres. In just one afternoon in August 2019, naturalists attending our Nature Day found 258 different species, so you are guaranteed some nature action if you visit with open eyes.

If you want to know what to look (or listen) for, this blog will give you some pointers. We have created the blog for people to share with others what they find. If you would like to write us a biog post, just drop us a line via the contact form.
