Why not visit the Priory ruins at the same time as exploring the gardens. Originally built in 1230 by the MacDougall’s, the site contains some fine grave stones plus the MacDougall Cross.
The gardens have been looking fantastic through the Easter holidays, and there is plenty of colour … come and have a look!
The gardens are open once again, and the daffodils and other spring bulbs are in full bloom …. catch them quick!
There is still plenty of colour in the gardens, and just that first hint of autumn coming with the rowans in berry.
This weekend saw the Ardchattan fete take place, thanks to a huge amount of hard work from the local Guides, Scouts, families and individuals. As a result over £2,400 was raised to be shared among local charities. Despite the damp weather there were plenty of people here to enjoy the fabulous lunches, teas, baking and family activities.
With less than a week to go until the fete, the gardens are looking wonderful.
After a week of sunshine and showers, the garden is looking very lush, and there is something of interest in each area …. too much to cover right now though, you’ll have to come and see for yourself!
It is only a few weeks now to the annual Fete – this year it will be held on Sunday 28th July. Make a note in your diaries!
The wild garden is looking lovely and is a nice contrast to the more formal areas of the garden. Elsewhere in the garden the Pheasants Eye Narsissus are still blooming an the hostas are just coming into flower.
