Marianne and Philip, we adored walking around the tracks that you mowed in your wild meddow, then around the organised walled in garden. We loved seeing your loose guinea fowl, my JRT was on a lead of course but she sure was thrilled to see the guinea fowl walking and flying around 😆 Along with the rabbits that also crossed our paths, a grouse and a squirrel also shot by, all very thrilling!

Read moreHighly recommended hidden gem near House of Dun. Four vast interlinked walled gardens beautifully cared for with spectacular views over Montrose basin. Very peaceful. Large wildflower meadow and woodland too with ancient trees. The northernmost garden is an arboretum. The next has herbaceous borders and meadow with paths. The third which is where you enter has herbaceous borders and beautiful flower beds including rose bed, rose arches and fruit trees. The fourth (southernmost) has a ha-ha with Rosa rugosa hedge and fantastic views. Owners very friendly and informative about this unique and beautiful place. Again, highly...
Read moreThese gardens are truly spectacular. Formal walled gardens with all kinds of shrubs, perennials, bulbs etc in wonderful borders and displays.
