First stop in Scotland has to be VP Kennedys family seat! Amazed to know my Scottish mom kept her horses here and partied with the earl as well!! Hope we can do the same in the future with Tulsi (my Audi and future president of the USA 🇺🇸) Stunning home and lands! Thank you for opening them up to visitors.
Lovely place to visit. You could quite easily spend the whole day there. Dogs allowed on leads. Nice cafe, good cake and customer service. Plant section is a little expensive. If you are local I would recommend a yearly subscription.
Castle ruins and fantastic gardens. Ruins closed off but you can still get a good idea of its size, gardens have loads of rhododendron, azalea and camelia, along with the walled garden. Lake and view points, plenty of seating around the gardens and woodland, cafe and shop, plant shop and toilets , carpark , well worth the entrance fee.
Lochinch Castle and its gardens are truly a hidden gem in the Scottish landscape. The castle itself exudes a captivating blend of history and architectural beauty, with its stunning façade and well-preserved interiors that whisk you back in time. The surrounding gardens are equally impressive, offering a serene escape filled with vibrant blooms and well-manicured lawns. Walking through the gardens, you can experience a range of themed areas, each showcasing a different aspect of nature's beauty, from formal layouts to more naturalistic designs. It’s a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful picnic, allowing visitors to soak in the tranquil atmosphere. Additionally, the castle's location provides breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, making it an ideal backdrop for photography enthusiasts or anyone looking to connect with nature. Overall, Lochinch Castle and Gardens offer a delightful experience for history buffs, garden lovers, and anyone seeking a tranquil retreat. I highly recommend a visit!
