Cluny House Gardens is a magical woodland garden near Aberfeldy in Perthshire, created by Bobby and Betty Masterton and now cared for by their daughter Wendy and her husband John Mattingley. You'll find Himalayan plants, two magnificent Wellingtonias over 150 years old, and red squirrels very active throughout most of the day. Planted on a hillside with many steps, the garden is not suitable for push chairs or wheel chairs, though well behaved dogs are allowed on a short lead. It is open every day of the year from 0900 to 1800, and is cash only on site. Pitlochry station is 5.6 miles away, with 63 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
