INVEREWE GARDEN

Created in 1862 by Osgood Mackenzie, this 20-hectare garden is a festival of color that will delight garden enthusiasts. It is a feat in itself, as it was created on desert land where nothing (or very little) was supposed to grow. It's a garden that's both astonishing in its location and almost unrivalled in its richness... Passion obliges! We admire rhododendrons from the Himalayas, eucalyptus from Tasmania and a vast collection of plants from New Zealand, Chile and South Africa. These rare varieties from all over the world thrive in the micro-climate created by the Gulf Stream. Add to this the opportunity to observe Scotland's emblematic wildlife: red squirrels, deer, otters, seals and golden eagles can all be seen here. With a bit of luck, sea eagles can also be seen! This subtropical garden is not to be missed.
Inverewe House: a 5-minute walk from the Visitor Centre, this museographic space takes you back to the middle of the 20th century, with objects to touch and experiments to conduct. Highly interactive, it has won awards for its original, playful approach.
Galerie Sawyer: The site is home to artists in residence, and is also a venue for contemporary art exhibitions, with something new every year, as well as meetings with the creators.
To eat: Inverewe Garden also has its own restaurant and café(Bothy café). Everything is fresh and local, imported "from field to fork": a good excuse to stay a little longer in this corner of paradise!
