Bannockburn House — Attraction in Great Britain

A big hoose I've always wondered about in the passing over the years as it lay nestled in the trees beside the M9, empty and sad. However, the hoose has been there far longer than the M9 and it's no longer sad, but a project and a half filled with enthusiastic volunteers determined to peel back the layers of historical material, interwoven with stories to bring a smile. Not just indoors though, the gardens and grounds have a merry band of gardeners working around the unicorn statue, growing fruit, veg and beautiful flowers that the resident bees feast on. But it's not just the bees having a nectar fest, you too can feast on the fruit and veg which can be purchased in the hoose.
