Argyll Adventure
7–9 May 2010
Ardkinglas Woodland Garden covers 25 acres of hillside lying in a naturally sheltered pocket near the mouth of the River Kinglas but surrounded by wild Highland scenery. Paths throughout the garden offer a variety of walks to suit all abilities. The focus is on mature trees (including the mightiest conifer in Europe). A woodland lochan, ancient mill, scriptorium and a very visible and thriving population of rare Red Squirrels add to the attractions at Ardkinglas.

Activity |
We will be taking care of the woodlands at Ardkinglas Forest Garden, cutting out invasive species and improving the paths which run through them. We will see some of the tallest trees in Scotland. |
Accommodation |
We will be staying in the Cairndow Village Hall, so you will need to bring a sleeping bag and airbed, but also a camera for the views! If you need an airbed, please let us know. |
Food |
We will provide dinner on Friday and Saturday, as well as breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday, with much of the produce coming from Damhead Organics. |
Transport |
We will collect people from outside Jimmy Chungs on Waverley Bridge in the centre of Edinburgh at 6.00 pm on Friday and will return everyone by about 5.00 pm on Sunday. |
Outings |
A trip to Inveraray (and to the pub garden there) is on the cards. |
