Short breaks and escapes to explore the beautiful gardens of Perthshire

The fertile soil and gentle climate of Perthshire have long inspired botanists, gardeners and horticulturists. That’s why you’ll find some of Britain’s most colourful gardens here – from small, privately-owned and lovingly-tended gardens full of specialist plants and flowers, to sumptuous, formal gardens in the grounds of stately homes.

The Perthshire Gardens Collection brings together 11 spectacular examples of the gardener’s art that combine native Scottish plants with rare and exotic species from all over the world. From wild woodlands to formal gardens and from heathers to Himalayan treasures, you’ll find them all in the Perthshire Gardens Collection. Notable and famous include Bells Cherrybank Gardens and Branlyn Garden in Perth, Scone Palace Gardens, Hercules Garden at Blair Castle, and the  University of Dundee Botanic Garden.
