A group of 10 from Biggar Ramblers visited Dumfries House Estate on August 30th. This was to enjoy a gentle 4-mile walk around the grounds. The weather was perfect for such a visit. Despite it being nearly September, the Rothesay Garden was full of colour and the displays of Hydrangeas were particularly impressive as was a crab apple tree heavily laden with fruit. The group moved on to cross the Adam Bridge into the Arboretum which has developed hugely over recent years. The Walled Garden and greenhouses were a blaze of colour and interest and the Education Garden had many fruit trees and tempting vegetables. The group went on further, past Home Farm and up to The Temple where the views were terrific. The walk ended naturally at the Cafe where everyone enjoyed cups of tea and nibbles. A very fine day out.
