The garden is laid mainly to level lawn and features numerous sheltered seating areas, a walled garden with a glazed geodome and paved and gravelled terraces, ideal for entertaining, al fresco dining and for enjoying the incredible uninterrupted views across the Kyle of Durness and surrounding countryside. The whole sits in approx. 5 acres.
