Caroline Biscoe

Firth View is on the high point of the Black Isle on the Eathie Road between Rosemarkie and Cromarty, about 1/4 mile from the BBC Rosemarkie Mast, roughly 4 miles in each direction from Rosemarkie and Cromarty on the opposite side of the road from Craighead.

The garden is on an exposed plot of about 3/4 acre at 200m above sea level, and has been developing year on year since we completed construction of our home in 2012. From a huge patch of dock, nettles and scrub it is now a mix of lawns, flower beds, a pond, a pergola and decking, a productive area with a polytunnel and a rather scrappy orchard
.   .   .   .
We also have the rare privilege of views to north and south over both the Moray and Cromarty Firths from the garden.
