Gardens & Nature

Argyll and Bute’s landscape features a diverse range of horticultural and natural landmarks. Highlights include the Highland Boundary Fault at Loch Lomond and the 200-acre Balloch Country Park. The region showcases architectural history at Mackintosh’s Hill House and the 19th-century Balloch Castle. Botanical collections vary from the Himalayan-style glen at Crarae Garden and the mountainside Benmore Botanic Garden to the rare, ancient King Fern housed within the restored 1870s sunken fernery at Ascog.
