Charity Garden Opening - The Steading at Clunie

‘A little bit of paradise’ a visitor once commented on a spring day when our wildflower meadow was covered with cowslips and cuckoo flower, and the banks of the Lunan Burn with primroses and wood anemones. The Steading at Newmill is on the north bank of the Lunan Burn midway between Lochs Clunie and Marlee. The grounds extend to about six acres with ponds, woodland, and bridges. There is an old mill building and mill lade and there are 800 metres of riverside walks. The Steading has a small cottage garden and a pond where children can feed the fish. A video of Newmill is on Youtube (search for ‘Newmill: creating and managing an orchid meadow’). Narrow paths, bridges and flowing water. One dog on lead only. Holiday accommodation: the Bothy sleeps five and is available for weekly lets.

This is a fundraising event for the open garden charity Scotland’s Gardens Scheme which raises money for hundreds of local charities.
