Autumn Colours at Glamis 🍂
From the ivy climbing the castle walls and the changing leaves across the trees, to the Kitchen Garden abundant with seasonal produce, the gardens are gently shifting with the season 🍁
There is still plenty of colour to enjoy, too. The Kitchen Garden borders remain full of life, while the Italian Garden continues to make an impressive display, with Verbena bonariensis and dahlias adding rich colour well into autumn.
Come and soak up the autumn colours at Glamis, and for some family-friendly fun, join us on 24, 25 or 31 October at our dedicated pumpkin patch 🎃

He slept in a room near the top of the castle, an experience that left a lasting impression 👻
