Description: A unique town garden and arboretum with magnificent views over Rattray, Blairgowrie & the Strathmore valley. Spread over 1.3 acres of southeast-facing slope, this garden has a wonderful collection of rhododendrons, acers, shrubs and collection of established trees. A series of paths winding down the steep slope takes you past the herbaceous borders, past a pond and through the tree collection. Species include Magnolia acuminata, Cornus kousa, Acer rubrum, Eucalyptus globulus, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla, Callicarpa bodinieri and Cercidiphyllum japonicum.

Directions: Parking on Kirk Wynd is not possible due to the steep narrow road. Free street parking is available in Blairgowrie for two hours and car parks are available. Buses 57, 58 & 58A stop at the High Street or Wellmeadow bus station. From the High Street take Upper Allan Street uphill turning right into Kirk Wynd. Overdale is on the right. Disabled visitors should arrange drop off and pick up at gates.

Other details: Homemade teas will be available. Access for visitors with disabilities is limited by the lack of on site parking and the steep hill. Within the garden there is a broad level terrace with gravel surface and fine views, but otherwise there are steep paths and steps.
