Cluny House Gardens

We were pretty limited with what we could do in Tummel as it had to be outdoors, only a short walk and the weather wasn't great. 
I found a house which had an impressive wild-ish garden. And best of all, it had 2 redwood trees and supposedly red squirrels, which we didn't actually expect to see. But we did!!!! I tried to get a photos but he/she was very quick and I just got a tail.

The redwood was near the start. I think Mom had a religious experience. She has always wanted to see one but never thought she would. I was so happy she got too. Both mom and dad were amazed. And it is huge!







Looking up.

The fuzzy thing int he middle is a red squirrel tail. Honest.

The walk around the garden took about 1 and 1/2 hours and was on a hillside so we took it slow. It was lovely and I would love to see it in the summer.




I tried to get some nice photos of mom and dad but they (in particular mom) was not into it. I got a few nice ones, as well as a few were mom looked like she would happily push me off the hillside. Honestly I only took a couple of minutes.



Mom is not amused



Photo war!
