this was a wonderful place to visit. The paths and labeling were great and we've never seen such a huge variety of rhododendrum. It's part of the Scottish National Trust so it's very well maintained. More

Unfortunately, the day we called by it was raining slightly so we had to hurry around but we could see the potential of what the gardens will be like in the right season. We will return to do them properly. There are uneven parts so care would need to be taken. More

This is the most wonderful little gem of a garden with unbeatable views from the lookout. I can't believe it may be closed down. Visit it to soak up the atmosphere and help keep it open!! More

From a rocky barren landscape came forth a thing of beauty. It's wonderful to see the results of hard work, determination & imagination from the original owners, to see what can be produced from a rocky barren landscape on the west coast of Scotland influenced by the Gulf Stream.
