Visitors to the National Trust for Scotland’s Crarae Garden near Inveraray will enjoy free access on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September.

The garden, which is well known for its eastern influences and exotic plants, is taking part in the Heritage Lottery Fund’s ‘Heritage Weekend’.

HLF awarded almost £300,000 in funding to the National Trust for Scotland conservation charity in 2003, which enabled the charity to carry out a range of conservation work which will help ensure the garden thrives for future generations.

Director of Commercial Services and Marketing, Henk Berits said:

“As a conservation charity, we depend on funding from a range of bodies to carry out our vital work to preserve some of Scotland’s most beautiful cultural and natural treasures.

“We would like to thank the Heritage Lottery Fund for their support and encourage the public to take this chance to discover the beauty of Crarae Garden and its wonderful plant collection.”

Crarae Garden is open daily from 9.30am until sunset. Entry usually costs £5 per adult or £14 per family. On Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September, entry is free.
