Inverness Area
These tours are of gardens close enough to Inverness to be visited in a morning or afternoon. There is a wealth of gardens and as distances are not great, we can visit three gardens in a few hours.
- Foulis Castle
- Abriachan
- Coiltie
North East
These gardens lie along a route to the northeast of Inverness along the north coast of the Moray Firth, taking in the Black-Isle, Cromarty and Dornoch Firths. The gardens enjoy long hours of sunshine and are dryer than those in the west.
