(134km/83m NW of Inverness) Garden on a headland on the northwest coast of Scotland, created between 1862 and 1952 by Osgood Mackenzie and his daughter. It is said that when he bought the property the only thing growing on it was a dwarf willow (treasured for many years but now dead). Thanks to a century of imaginative planting, the kindly influence of the *Gulf Stream and protective windbreaks of Corsican pine and Scots fir, there is now a profusion of improbably exotic plants.
