Description:
Crummieholm was originally a farm, dating back to the 18th century. A formal front garden was created in the 1970s. The adjacent farmland was developed for housing apart from one area which was left to nature for over 30 years. Over the past 10 years, the current owners have attempted to transform this neglected and overgrown field into a tranquil haven for trees, shrubs, flowers and wildlife. A network of paths leads round the sloping, south facing site, bounded by a small burn. It continues to be a work in progress. It is hoped that others in the village will participate, enabling a trail of village gardens
Directions: The village of Loans lies 2 miles east of Troon and also accessible from the A78. Access to Crummieholm from Main Street will be signposted. Parking is available at the camping site on Troon Road. Stagecoach buses nos 10 and 14 stop in Main Street.
Other details: The open day is planned as part of a centenary event celebrating the opening of Loans Village Hall in 1926. Teas will be served in the Village Hall.
