Trumland House
Undergoing extensive restoration at the time of research, this is probably the largest private house in Orkney. The grounds, with their thicket of native trees, are worth a stroll – you enter the walled garden through a medieval gate.

Explorers Garden
At the Pitlochry Festival Theatre, this excellent garden commemorates 300 years of plant collecting and those who hunted down ‘new’ species. The whole collection is based on plants brought back to Scotland by Scottish explorers.
