The Green Park Hotel's Gardens

You will remember that Coleridge wrote;

And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills,

Where blossomed many an incence-bearing tree;

And here were forests ancient as the hills,

Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

In Highland Perthshire, while we cannot match the poet's Vision of a Dream, we have done our very best with the three acres of garden which surround the Green Park Hotel.

Large lawns sweep down to the banks of Loch Faskally; beds of flowers and dwarf conifers are set out with discretion so as not to distract attention from the hotel's remarkable setting looking over the quiet waters of the loch and up to the majestic hills. Seats are set out at different vantage points so that visitors can enjoy their own favourite view.

Those of an active disposition can play a game of putting on our small course.

A special welcome is extended to those many visitors who are enthusiatic and unrestrained gardeners. If they bring their own tools and can recognise the difference between a weed and a flower, they will be warmly invited to satisfy their urge by dead heading, weeding and sorting out the rockery.
