A Scottish Country Garden

Outside, there were trips to see otters in the bay. We tried to see them from the ramparts but the boats were heading too far out so we went outside for a closer look. The surrounding land seemed to be filled with rotting moss and overgrown grass. At the end of the inlet were some holiday cottages and a small shop selling ice creams. But hidden inland beneath the landscaped hills was a waterfall. Somehow, our group separated to explore different parts of the garden. I climbed a hill through some woods hoping to get a view of the castle, and looked down onto a lawn complete with divided flower beds in between the gravel path. There were also cosy tunnels cut through the hedgerows to form beautiful archways. In the centre was a square pond complete with lily pads and a small fountain. This also formed the castle’s own herb and vegetable garden.
