Synopsis
With its vast expanses of mountains, moors and rolling landscape, Scotland offers a diverse and dramatic setting for its superb gardens. Each one revels in a sense of place and in the variety and vitality of its horticulture. Four years in the making, this is the most comprehensive book on Scottish gardens ever published. It features 64 gardens, all of which are open to the public either on a regular basis or to individuals by appointment. They range from the 1610 pleasance of Edzell Castle and the fabled nineteenth-century parterre of Drummond Castle to the superbly planted walled gardens of Inverewe and Crathes Castle; from the magnificent twentieth-century rhododendron woodlands of the west coast to the new twenty-first-century plantsman's gardens of Kerrachar in the far north of Scotland, so remote it is only accessible by boat. The book is divided into six regions, each chapter including specialist nurseries, garden open days, horticultural shows, wildflowers and quirky detail. There is a map at the end of the book with the gardens and locations clearly marked, to help the visitor plan his route, together with opening times and the addresses of specialist nurseries. .
