I've been to the Garden of Cosmic Speculation. It's down just outside Dumfries and just as spectacular as the photographs suggest. The one thing you don't appreciate from photographs though is the scale. It is huge. I would recommend anyone pay it a visit, although I think it is only occasionally open to the public.

It's open on the 2nd May (12-5) this year.

Unfortunately, there's no way that I'm going to be able to get all the way up from Southampton to see it this year.

Oh maybe I can actually go this year! (I live about 14 miles from it and have managed to either not be around or be busy every time it's been open in the last twelve years).
