Description:
The twenty year development of the hillside garden at Glensaugh, with its fine outlook over the Howe of the Mearns, continues as lawn evolves into wild flower meadow and borders are replanted. Trees, species rhododendrons and other shrubs provide year round interest while herbaceous planting extends colour into the autumn. Yew hedges and well-placed natural stone give structure in the lower garden where a productive kitchen garden and polytunnel exist alongside informal borders and a sunken pond.
Directions: Three miles north of Fettercairn. Turn right off the B974 at Clatterin Brig and follow minor road signed Drumtochty for half a mile, then turn right into Glensaugh Farm. Follow beech avenue from the steading to Glensaugh Lodge.
Other details: No teas, but you are welcome to bring a picnic.
