The estate

Hot and sunny today so like my fellow blipmates, snapper and Flecky, I took off to see the gardens of Kilchoan estate. 

These are newly built gardens for a Chilean billionaire who hardly ever visits. I found the whole thing completely over the top. Ostentatious will be the word. Lots of structure but imature gardens as you would expect. Far too many statues and other bling. 
The things I wasn't happy about included the amount of rhododendron which was not being controlled much plus other invasive species, specimen conifer species planted within our native woodland,  bird netting with birds in the nets during breeding season, must be illegal.  I did complain and was fobbed off. I could go on but that's enough. I liked the chapel but it felt like a complete vanity project. 
I have put a few extras.
