as such, a number of handpicked original artworks are presented in wood cottage, ranging from a bold, contemporary abstract painting above the table in the cosy dining room to peaceful watercolours of local landscapes in the fire-warmed sitting room An oil painting of a stark winter tree in one of the two bedrooms, both snuggled beneath the eaves of the cottage, subtly echoes the shape of an ancient oak in the verdant parkland glimpsed through the window.
by no means constrained to wood cottage, guests are free to explore bughtrig’s celebrated gardens, discovering its intimate hedged gardens; beautifully restored greenhouses, complete with old roses clambering at their feet and contemporary sculptures within; and the 246-foot-long grass walk, a lush carpet of lawn flanked by colourful herbaceous borders Dotted amongst the gardens, which open to the public as part of Scotland’s Open Garden Scheme, are diverse sculptures, including a bronze of Vice-Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, who masterminded the naval forces contribution to the Dunkirk evacuation and D-Day landings during World War 2.
