Glenwhan Gardens: Part 1 of 2

During the course of the next two or three of weeks or so, now and again we'll venture a little further afield than Cumbria and Lancashire. Thanks to some fine images taken by our Roving Scotland Correspondent, there will be a series featuring South West Scotland. We start with a the first part of a visit to Glenwhan Gardens.

Glenwhan Gardens are located at Dunragit, near Stranraer. 30-years ago there was nothing but bracken, gorse and willows, but careful planting has created a 12-acre garden featuring plants from around the world.
