When we were in Scotland in the summer (you can see its summer by the light grey clouds rather than the dark grey clouds), we visited Stirling Castle. It is well worth a visit although be prepared to walk up and down a lot of steps and slopes, they must have been a fit lot back then. There is an area called Queen Anne's Garden which has a lawn and some flower borders along the edges, which faces south west and has views across a large expanse of land, so no chance of the English sneaking up on them.
Early land art.
Along with the Crocosmia which seemed to be everywhere in Scotland, there was a fine Acanthus spinosus.
what did you think of the gardens?
