Firth View, Craighead, Cromarty
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.

Footnote: We visited last night - it's a wonderful garden, the fruit of much hard work by Caroline and Jim, and well worth visiting when it's open again on Sunday. The views north and south to both the Cromarty and Moray firths are amazing, and there's the best garden pond we've ever seen and a wildlife hide on the edge of the wood where they regularly see pine martens and badgers. Go if you can. PM.
