Glen Kyllachy,  Tomatin,  IV13 7YA

In a magnificent Highland glen, 1200 feet above sea level, Glenkyllachy is a beautiful garden of shrubs, herbaceous plants, rhododendrons, trees, and spectacular views down the Findhorn River.  There are some rare specimens and a recently planted arboretum.  Rhododendrons and bulbs flower in May/June, herbaceous plants bloom through July/August with glorious autumn colours in September and October.  There is a very productive vegetable garden, poly tunnel, fruit cage and greenhouse as well as original sculptures and a Highgrove-inspired wall which provide year round interest.  Featured on TV Beechgrove, in The English Garden Magazine and recently in Scottish Field (November 2023).  The garden is constantly evolving with new areas being developed and planting schemes changed.

Directions: Turn off the A9 at Tomatin and take the Coignafearn/ Garbole single-track road down the north-side of the River Findhorn; there is a cattle grid and gate on the right 500 yards AFTER the humpback bridge and the sign to Farr.

Admission: £5.00, children free         Charities: Marie Curie 60%
