Our Castle & Gardens will remain closed until February of next year, when we will kick off our activities once again with the annual snowdrop festival. This event is held in partnership with the Scottish Garden Scheme and aims to celebrate the beauty of spring as it emerges.
Reflecting on this past year, it has been a whirlwind of activity and transformation. Our exceptional group of volunteers, who are truly the backbone of our operation, are currently engaged in a variety of important tasks that had to be set aside until our end of season closure. Their hard work includes planting vibrant new flora, enhancing our plant labelling for better visitor education, and conducting crucial repairs to ensure our gardens remain welcoming and accessible.
Looking ahead to next year, we are excited to introduce guided Garden tours led by our knowledgeable resident tour guide, Ian. With his expertise as both a historian and a horticulturist, Ian will bring the fascinating stories of our gardens to life. Additionally, we will showcase a unique guided exhibition highlighting the remarkable finds from our ice-house, offering visitors a glimpse into the past.
In closing, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our visitors and followers for your unwavering support during this transformative year. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you back to experience the beauty and charm of our castle and gardens next year!
