Leathad Ard Gardens

A private garden with a charming variety of plants arranged across this deceptively spacious residential plot, Leathad Ard is great inspiration for UK gardeners. The grounds are arranged as ‘rooms’, with beautiful views across to East Loch Roag and areas with both sheltered and open aspects, giving visitors a good range of spaces to explore.

The owners’ focus on variety has led to a garden which is full of colour throughout the summer, with herbaceous borders overflowing with flowers around every corner. The hedges which surround most of the site give good protection from the Scottish weather, so that many parts of the grounds feel sheltered and warm even on windy days. There are also a good range of garden types on the site, with everything from bog garden to fruit and veg, wild areas, lawns and raised beds.
