An Unexpected Gem

Travelling along the North Coast 500 in Scotland a planned stop at the Inverwere Gardens

As Rip and I meandered along the North Coast 500, the plan for the day was to stop for lunch at the Invewere Gardens.  Being in a campervan it was a welcomed sight to see the large parking area and a designated zone for us. The staff were welcoming and happy to share their knowledge of the gardens and its history.

The weather for most of the trip had not been fabulous with Storm Amy bringing rain and wind. The day was grey and overcast,  dreich as the Scots would say.  Love that word, it encapsulates the feelings around such a day.

Even though the weather was driech there were some amazing views over the coastline.  Adding to the mystic of the grounds.

Inverwere Gardens is a testament of a Father and Daughters commitment and dedication to creating this incredible garden with exotics from all over the world.  As a Kiwi (New Zealander) there was also a connection back to my homeland.  Seeing red scoria and flax bushes was definitely a surprise. 

Autumn had taken its hold over the garden with the leaves turning bright oranges and burnt rust colours.  Many plants were showing their last bust of colour for the season.  The roses and hydrangeas still had the last of their flowers blooming.

During our trip around this part of Scotland every had an autumn glow, hues of season filled the sky. Today had been much the same except when the rain swept across landscape causing a temporary grey hue.

Wandering around the garden in the rain with my camera tucked under my jacket ready to be pulled out for a photo or two or three. The paths wound their way around the garden with little side paths to a new view or fabulous trees. The weather worn trees grew at interesting angles as they had preserved through storms and harsh northern winters.

The Walled Garden was a tranquil spot, encountering a little robin as it danced around the dahlias. Disappointed not to see any red squirrels or otters or seals, they were all hiding from the weather. Hopefully I will get to see them on my next trip.

Seeing the garden with her autumn’s cloak on, showing one of her sides invites me to come back see each season and what she reveals under the summer sun or spring as life bounds in.     

The Invewere Gardens falls under the National Trust for Scotland and further information can be found on their website.
