We were very lucky to grab a few hours off recently and visit Corsock House which was open for the Scotland Gardens scheme. What a treat it was. A wander though beautiful gardens, tea on the lawn and a plant sale.
Thank you to the Ingall family for throwing open their garden gates to raise money for Corsock and Kikpatrick Durham Church along with the charities supported by Scotland's Gardens.
Corsock has a wonderful variety of types of designed landscape, from a formal walled garden, through richly planted woodlands. The gardens are full of different vistas.The garden has natural pools and temples.
Naturally landscaped water features and delightful surprises on the way. All setting off the Bryce baronial mansion beautifully.
Ken Cox described this garden as ‘the most photogenic woodland garden in Scotland. '
Scotland's Gardens facilitates the opening of gardens throughout Scotland with private gardens, not usually open to the public.
Many glorious country house gardens participate in the programme, along with town and village gardens large and small. Fundamentally important is that each garden must have some horticultural interest and be of a certain standard.
Scotland's Gardens is a registered charity created in 1931, For more information and for other open gardens visit http://www.scotlandsgardens.org’
Some 200 charities, benefit annually from 40% gross of the takings that are donated to the charities chosen by owner. The remaining 60% of money raised goes to
