    About

    It’s astonishing what you can grow in one of the most northerly corners of Scotland when you put your mind to it! Meandering through the garden on this remote stretch of coastline is a paradise of unusual and wonderful plants, where the unexpected greets you at every corner. Inverewe celebrates the best of human achievements in the natural environment. Marvel at our heritage garden, containing species from across the globe and created from a barren wilderness in the 19th century. A labour of love and enduring commitment, it’s a feast for your senses. This is a setting that inspires art and creativity. At its heart is Inverewe House, a museum with a twist, and its adjacent Sawyer Gallery, which hosts exhibitions that reflect the characteristics of the garden and surrounding environment.

    Gardens & Scenary

    The entrance to the reception and shop has double doors. The shop has ample space to manoeuvre. at reception a mobility scooter can be requested. There is another building across the car park that houses the cafe/restaurant. The gardens, have dirt gravel paths, which are on different levels as they are located on a hillside with beautiful views. There are guide maps that show the accessible routes although I found some of the accessible paths a little too steep coming down in my powered chair as it kept sliding.
