My visit in Cluny House Gardens was a high point of my several Scotland journeys.  In spite of rain was the garden marvellous and I seen many rare plants.
Particularly the many Primulas were impressive. I spent a beautiful afternoon with Bobby and Betty Masterton and tee and cakes were wonderful too! I dream still about this garden

Bobby Masterton is the Gentleman in Pullover  with Eric Hilton and wife and Betty Masterton.

Susan Band:
Franz,
It must have been a long time since you were at Cluny. Bobby's daughter and son-in- law now look after the garden and although I don't recall seeing that bed of Mec grandis recently everything else in the garden looks wonderful. There are still Primula sonchifolia, loads of trilliums, masses of candlearbra primulas and a great varitey of lilies. John and Wendy have also added a lot to the underplanting of the Rhododendrons using primulas grown from wild seed, ariseamas, helleborus and other new introdutions. Luckly for me it is only 1/2hr away and I try to get up once or twice a year, whenever there is a lovely evening or I have friends. Still a bit early for this year's visit. Loads of interesting birds and also Red squirrels in the garden.
Susan
