Description:
Three very different gardens in the hamlet of Macbiehill which sits at some 1000 feet above sea level, very exposed to the copious wind and rain.Alderbank: Alderbank is a large garden containing a mix of wild flower meadows and trees, a herbaceous border and a productive area of fruit and vegetables. It is very much a family garden used by our children to explore nature and play.Birchbrae: The house was built on this site by the owners in 2019 and thereafter the garden was created from rough moorland ground. The enrichment of the soil and planting became a 'Lockdown' project in June 2021.The Walled Garden: A contemporary walled garden paved with multi-hued sandstone enlivened by plants in raised beds and containers, plus a variety of ceramic and large one-off sculptures.
