This
area of Scotland enjoys a temperate climate. The
garden blooms in the summer months although there
is colour all year round. When we purchased the house
in 1991 there was only a small garden (which we have
developed) at the front of the house but gradually the
gardens to the side and rear have taken shape. Throughout
its development the gardens have won many awards.
We garden organically when possible.
This
picture is a view taken from the sitooterie late one
spring evening (see sitooterie below).
So many
birds visit the garden regularly. Some species
are: bullfinch, yellowhammer, coal tit, blue tit,
blackbird (several nests around), thrush, robin, wren.

The
picture is a view of the garden from the sitooterie
on a summer evening. In addition to the comfortable
dining room/TV lounge this other guest lounge is delightful
and offers peace, comfort and relaxation for guests.
