Crarae Gardens

Last week saw us on half term holidays and over in Oban.  Weather wise a great week with only one really wet day.

After a chill out day on Saturday, involving a lot of baking followed by an evening in front of "Strictly" we managed to lever Julie and Isobel out of bed at a reasonable hour and headed round to Crarae Gardens near Inveraray.  Weather was beautiful and the gardens autumn colours did not dissappoint.  We walked round just about every path in the place.  One particular highlight was the a patch of Sorbus Vilmorinii that was solid with pink berries.

The views from the top of the garden were breathtaking in their clarity.  The views up the glen were also very beautiful although the autumn colours were probably not quite at their best.
