Balmacara Estate & Lochalsh Woodland Garden
|
The mosaic of arable in-bye fields around small settlements, with outlying moorland common grazing reflects a historically important land use of the west highlands which remains relevant to local communities today. The estate also includes Lochalsh woodland garden, while originally policy woodland for Lochalsh house, is largely a product of trust ownership of the Balmacara estate. The garden has a calm and quiet atmosphere, which contributes to its significance in comparison to other west coast gardens, and stands as an example of horticultural achievement in relatively difficult terrain. Lochalsh House is not open to the public.
