Armadale Castle Gardens on the Isle of Skye offer more than just spectacular views over the Sound of Sleat. The castle, now a ruin, was once home to part of the mighty Clan Donald. The surrounding gardens mainly date from the 19th Century. The arboretum was planted in Victorian times and today provides spectacular autumn colour. Wander the 40-acre estate with a downloadable audio guide to find out more about Armadale’s illustrious past.
Many beautiful plants from around the world relish this mild, sheltered setting, including the spectacular Chilean fire bush. In the woodland, magnificent trees, some almost 200 years old, tower above carpets of bluebells, orchids and wildflowers in spring and summer. Recent additions include herbaceous borders, ponds and terrace walks.
