Description:
A 150-year-old walled garden in Orkney’s West Mainland, which provides a unique micro climate against the windy, coastal conditions. The ‘gardens within gardens’ layout provides sheltered growing for hostas, irises, grasses and a collection of more than 120 species and hybrids of perennial geraniums. Organically gardened, the space is alive with birds, bees and butterflies. The garden has featured in the Scottish Field, Scotland on Sunday and Beechgrove. It is included in the books Island Gardens by Jackie Bennet, and Scotland for Gardeners by Ken Cox.
Directions: Located on the B9057, a quarter of a mile north of Skaill Loch.
