Description:
Situated on a south-facing , two-acre plot, Craigellie House dates back to around 1918. When Liz and Charlesmoved there in 2018 the garden, once open with a grass tennis court but later formalised, had been badly neglected and was overshadowed by enormous conifers. Working with a professional gardener, they have crafted a garden that beautifully complements this historic home. Though still a work in progress, visitors can enjoy vibrant successional planting in the newly-formed herbaceous beds, a small woodland area and a recently-created kitchen garden.
Directions: Take the Bamff Road from Alyth, passing the church and entrance to the Den of Alyth. Continue for about ½ mile and turn right through the white gate opposite the Tullyfergus & St Fink junction. Stagecoach bus 57 or 57A to Alyth & 25 minute walk.
Other details: There are several cafes nearby in Alyth which, in itself, is an interesting and historic small town.
