 Castle Kennedy Gardens
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

Castle Kennedy Gardens A fascinating historic garden laid out on a narrow isthmus between two lochs, Castle Kennedy Gardens are based around the romantic ruin of an authentic 14th century castle. The remarkable micro-climate of the area, favoured by water on three sides and the moderating influence of the Gulf Stream, means that many exotic plants can grow and flourish here.
