16 October 2025,
Yesterday, volunteer gardeners for Bannockburn House Garden visited Drummond Castle Garden. We had a wonderful guided tour of the garden by Audrey. Thanks go to Margaret Pollock for organising this special visit.
In amongst photographs from yesterday’s visit, this hole ousia post contains some old newspaper archive material and also a few quotes from writers [that I have gathered from my reading]. Please note: I have made no attempt to offer an overall narrative, rather I seek to present the wonder and beauty of passing time:
15 May 1851, Stirling Observer:
7 June 1879, Blairgowrie Advertiser:
9 September 1903, The Sketch:
29 April 1905, The Sphere:
18 August 1920, London Daily Chronicle:
10 August 1972, Country Life:
