Visit an enchanting West Coast hillside garden, with glorious views over Loch Melfort, full of vibrant rhododendrons, azaleas and wild flowers
Over the past 35 years, Kames Bay garden has evolved from two acres of scrub and bracken on a lochside hill into a natural, almost wild, garden spread over thirteen acres, blending into the contours of the coastal landscape. A garden where visitors can wander at peace on woodland and hillside walks, discovering hidden benches to enjoy the magnificent views over Loch Melfort, and the Isles of Shuna, Luing and Scarba. A garden full of vibrant colours all year, with more than 100 varieties of azaleas & rhododendrons, wild primroses & violets in the spring, with hydrangeas, fuchsia, roses and agapanthus in the summer, and with acer, prunus and sorbus in the autumn. A garden which offers the best of both worlds – the beauty of cultivation softening the wild edges of the natural landscape.
