A Walk in the Grounds of Ardtornish

Ardtornish Gardens
On Thursday, the conference program was pretty continuous, but there was an hour or so after the official lunch break during which we went for a walk in the Ardtornish gardens/grounds themselves. The grounds are vast and extend right along the side of Loch Aline (seen from our loungeroom window) to the village of Lochaline. There are a number of cottages for rent in the grounds of the main house, one of which was called Rose Cottage (pictured).

There is also an extensive grid of rivers and brooks, the most impressive of which (Gear Abhain) runs alongside Kinlochaline castle. The castle is a strange looking structure, rather higher than it is wide.
