Castle & Gardens of Mey - Scotland
A remote village on Scotland’s north coast. Although it’s the first week of May, we experience 4 degree C and sleet. Along with a steady wind from the north to chill one’s bones. The gardener was turning the soil in a bed mixing in compost or manure. Soil was heavy and looked like hard work. One to keep him warm.

Lindisfarne Castle - England
Our first garden to visit on our grand 2019 garden tour of Scotland and norther England is Lindisfarne Castle. A remote place on the North Sea is an island at high tide but looks more like a pennisula at other times. People have been coming here for at least 2 millennia.
This castle was converted into a private house in the early 1900's by Lutyens. Jekyll did the wall garden. The drama of the garden is best shown in photos as it is remote from the castle.
