19 of the best pictures as Dundee’s Botanic Garden hosts Enchanted Forest-esque show

By Jake Keith

Dundee’s Botanic Garden has been transformed into a stunning open air performance venue as part of a city-wide festival.

The popular West End attraction is welcoming more than 200 people each night to music and light shows this week.

Named Over The Garden Wall, it features acrobatics alongside specially commissioned music, including songs by Dundee singer Be Charlotte.

Tickets for the events were just £4 and sold out quickly when they went on sale last month.

Performances will also be held on Friday and Saturday evening, with free buses taking attendees between the city centre and the venue.

Here are some of the best pictures.
