This year we have been included in Pete Irvine’s latest edition of “Scotland the Best” under the Highly Recommended category.

This is the 12th edition of “Scotland the Best”, this is one of the bestselling guides to Scotland for over 20 years, featuring only the best of what Scotland has to offer. We are delighted to be included.

Please see www.harpercollins.co.uk/stb for details on the book.

Thanks for the generous donation of plants from the Alpine Rockery Plants Society.

Please see the society’s website to see what they do and more information on the plants.

We have approximately 300 Friends which is such an encouragement to us during these difficult times.

It has, we believe been a source of great satisfaction to the Friends also, who are able to help in many ways to keep the Garden alive.  However, our aim is to have 1000 Friends and we continue to work towards achieving this number and very importantly, keeping them renewed on an annual basis.
