...to an Open Garden.
I say Open Garden (which it was) but it was part of an Estate.
Rhododendrons in the American Garden:
Summerhouse in the American Garden:
Views from the High Pond Walk:
Looking across the High Pond
View from High Pond Walk looking across the valley, the Low Pond is in the middle of the picture
Looking out from the Rose Garden
and a couple of the Courtyard Garden
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did :)

I love the picture across the High Pond. It makes me feel all relaxed just looking at it.

Oh 2Spot what lovely pictures. Thank you so much for sharing. I particularly like the photo looking across High Pond (the first one) - the reflections are beautiful. What a peaceful looking place. Px

You're welcome Plocket :) Just wish I could visit more often, Sir Robert and Lady Clark don't like people visiting uninvited :(. Apparently people have been stealing stone from old Penicuik House >:( which is derelict at the moment but currently having restoration work done. Used to go 'Up the Estate' as a teenager but haven't been for years. Never seen the above parts before.

Lovely pics Twospot. ;D The rhododendrons look really colourful. Looks like a lovely relaxing area down by the lakes. Were there many other people about or did you have time to take it all in for yourselves?
I like the mini horses walking on the hedge ....tee hee I'm teasing!

I know you'll probably think I'm mad, Twospot, but what is Anthony Worral Thompson doing in the third rhodo pic? If you look carefully about a third of the way in from the left, and a bit less than a third of the way down from the top, there's a perfect rendition of the top half of A W-T in a green shirt, looking out towards the right hand side of the screen!!! Honest... I'd be glad to know if anyone else can see him, or if it's like one of those pictures you just stare at for ages until a picture leaps out at you....

Heldi, it was busy but being such a big garden there was more than enough room for everyone. You got an idea of how busy it was when you went into the house for tea and cakes. About a dozen tables set out each seating at least 6 people and all of them full with more people coming and going.
A W-T? Where? Margi what have you been drinking ;D Seriously though I don't get on too well with those pictures where you are supposed to see another within ???
Thanks for the lovely comments BL and all ;D
