Discover these little white gems in Scotland's
gardens
Various stately homes, castles and estates
throughout Scotland are opening their gates to the public this
winter.
Their beautiful grandeur is enhanced by
expansive gardens and grounds, perfect for a winter wander when the
landscape is dusted in white snow.
Tread carefully and keep your eyes peeled for
snowdrops, little winter gems that surface towards the end of the
season when hopes of spring are in the air.
These small white flowers are celebrated at
the Scottish Snowdrop Festival with sites to explore in both city
and rural locations. Delicate yet hardy they are able to
thrive in this cold climate.
Breathe in the fresh air and embrace winter
while discovering special historic treasures this year.
The festival runs
from 1 February to 15 March 2010.
