Armadale Castle Gardens
 Isle of Skye

Armadale Castle has 40 acres of exotic trees, shrubs and flowers in its gardens. 
Although there have been gardens at  Armadale since the 17th century it was just over 200 years ago that the planting began which was to create the gardens you see today. A bridge takes you over a narrow gorge to informal gardens  so do not expect to see manicured borders. 
In spring there are good displays of bluebells, orchids and wild flowers.
There is a terrace walk with herbaceous gardens and water plants flourish in and around the ponds.
Woodland walks and nature trails further afield which are home to wildlife. You may see deer, and otters.
Garden worth visiting when combined with Museum of the Isles which is on site.
