Places
to Visit
Scotland may not
always guarantee the best of weather - but there will always be plenty of things
to do and places to visit. IN FACT - it is often the backdrop of a misty loch,
the dark brooking landscape or the snow covered moorland that really delivers
those unforgettable images of Scotland in all its glory.
Some
of the most memorable places are often those which you stumble upon, which are
out off the beaten track or which you might only find if told about through friends,
acquaintances or through connections such as Luxury Scotland. | | |

them.

Scotland's
Garden Scheme - is part of a national organisation that started in 1927 when Miss
Elsie Wagg of the Queen's Nursing Institute had the bright idea of raising funds
for that charity by persuading people to open their private gardens to the public
for 'a shilling a head.' From
those modest beginnings and with only a few mostly large-scale gardens opening
for the benefit of a single charity - it has grown to become nothing less than
a national institution. With three and a half thousand gardens, of every possible
size and style this is a real treasure chest for any garden enthusiast and the
scheme raising over a million pounds a year for nearly a dozen charities.
