Kerrachar Gardens is a plantsman's garden in the North West Highlands of Scotland set in a uniquely remote and beautiful location in the Parish of Assynt on the shores of Loch a Chairn Bhain.
The garden
has been developed since 1995 on disused croft land and
at present covers approximately one hectare. It has been featured in a number of garden magazines and in 2006 appeared on BBC "Gardener's World". Also in 2006 the "Independent" included Kerrachar in a list of "10 best gardens to visit in summer".
Kerrachar
is one of the few permanently inhabited homes in the UK which has
no access by road or path. Instead you can enjoy a 30 minute boat trip on the 25 ton M.V.
