Kirklands
Kirklands, built in 1832 on the site of much older house has been our home for over 40 years. Over the years we have created an ever expanding garden with a woodland garden, herbaceous borders, bog garden, a terraced wall garden on a slope with raised vegetable and flower beds, 18 espalier fruit trees and a display of red and yellow tulips. In the woodland garden there is a carpet of snowdrops followed by bluebells, meconopsis, trilliums, fritillaries, erythroniums, candelabra primulas, rhododendrons and wonderful shrubs and trees all picked for their form and colour. In the bog garden by the side of Saline burn we have giant Gunnera manicata. Over the bridge there is 20 acres of naturally regenerating woodland and a pathway to the village. The herbaceous borders are full of colour from early spring to late autumn and the rockery is amass of dwarf bulbs and dwarf rhododendrons.
