T:07921174212 E:fay.johnstone@gmail.com

Originally part of the Craigflower Estate, the garden was transformed by the late Scottish-German botanist Ursula McHardy to demonstrate models of natural vegetation patterns of the Southern Hemisphere. Within the walled garden you will find an Australian eucalyptus forest and a South American forest with southern beeches and monkey-puzzles. There is also a South African area and a New Zealand section with five pools as well as traditional mixed borders. What remains of the original botanical collection is maintained by the current owners in an informal manner in line with Fay’s work with plants supporting holistic health and wellbeing.

Directions: Park at, or get the bus to, the Ness in Torryburn then walk 15 minutes along Shore Road.
