Flowers at Kildrummy Castle Gardens

After a busy breakfast at the Inn this morning where which Nathan kindly gave me a had washing at breakfast. I drove him up to the Kildrummy Castle Gardens for work. It's actually only a 10 minute walk from Kildrummy Inn but we were a little short of time.

Kildrummy Castle Gardens were created in the ancient quarry below the medieval Castle, the ruin of which provides a wonderful backdrop.

The bridge spanning the garden is a copy of famous brig o' Balgownie and reflects beautifully on the largest of the four ponds which plays host to a wide range of water plants.

The quarry, left behind after the building of the castle in the 12th Century is now planted with fine examples of alpines and shrubs.

Kildrummy Castle Gardens offer peace and tranquility in an idyllic setting. Well worth a visit!
