Achamore Gardens, Isle of Gigha

Achamore Gardens are set on the beautiful Scottish Island of Gigha with its white sandy beaches and breathtaking scenery..
Sir James Horlick acquired the estate in 1944 he wished to establish a garden to grow his more tender Rhododendrons. 
He managed this by cutting small clearings in the Ponticum and trees and by 1970 the garden was full and looked magnificent. On his death he left some of his collection to the National Trust for Scotland so that rare species could be propagated and shared with other great gardens.

Bed and Breakfast is available in Achamore House set in the centre of the gardens.
