Dunollie has never had formal gardens - instead a certain taming of the surrounding native woodland.

This was always known to the family as "The Shrubbery".

​

Planting took place in the 1850's to 1870's and a pond was built in the 1950's.

​

The finest tree is a Wellingtonia, these came to the UK in 1855 when they became popular as 'status' trees in the ground of estate owners.

​

In Spring, there are successive drifts of snowdrops, then daffodils followed by native bluebells.

​

Throughout the summer season, red squirrels, deer, rabbits and weasels may also be sighted roaming the gardens.
