Crarae Gardens

Crarae Gardens

Crarae Gardens are run by the National Trust for Scotland and are located close to Inveraray, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a Himalayan-style glen set in the gentle hills of Argyll.

They are said to be Britain’s finest example of a Himalayan-style garden. You can explore this peaceful paradise and see its gorge, rippling burn, waterfalls and cliffs. There are some spectacular year-round displays as each season brings new blooms.

It is an incredibly picturesque place to visit. The gardens were first created in 1912 by Lady Grace Campbell. She was the aunt of the intrepid plant hunter Reginald Farrer. He sourced trees and shrubs from China, Nepal and Tibet. The gardens are a haven for wildlife with red squirrels, deer, woodpeckers and birds of prey often spotted.
