Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Auchgourish Gardens

The Gardens and Arboretum continue to be developed. Phase 1 will open in June 2001 and contains a Winter Garden with extensive rockeries, a Japanese Garden and Himalayan and Chinese areas. Phase 2 has been started and will include a Korean area, a Scottish area and a St Andrew's Garden, in which the plants are mostly white/silver and blue to commemorate the Scottish national flag. We grow many of the botanical species plants that are planted out in the Gardens and surplus plants are available for sale.
