One of 24 Puzzle Pieces by the atrist Anne Gilchrist. These artworks show the artists attention to small details in the Gardens. Mostly hanging in the trees; each piece uses part illusion; part camouflage and part artist's interpretation to blend into its background. Dawyck Botanic Garden is a botanic garden and arboretum covering 25 hectares (62 acres) at Stobo, south of Peebles in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland. The garden is situated in the Upper Tweed Valley, a National Scenic Area. The Veitch family planted the garden at Dawyck House in the 17th century until the Naesmith family took over in 1691. Sir John Murray Naesmith supported plant-hunting expeditions, especially those undertaken by the explorer and plant hunter David Douglas (1799–1834). In 1897 the Balfour family acquired the Dawyck Estate, and in 1978 they gave the Garden to the Royal Botanic Garden, with the exception of Dawyck House and chapel which remain in private use.
