Photographs of the recent PGG visit to Castle Kennedy Gardens, a part of Stair Estates, located in the South West corner of Scotland. This part of Scotland is surrounded on three sides by the sea, and the influence of the Gulf Stream provides a micro climate not found in many other parts of the United Kingdom.
The visit included a talk from Head Gardener, John MacArthur of that Ilk followed by a garden tour of the Rhododendrons in the south side of the Gardens and the Round Pond and Lochinch Castle Gardens.
