A garden in the Scottish Highlands "full of intriguing details" has been named one of the best in the UK to visit in early spring.
Introducing the list of British gardens, The Guardian said: "In the midst of winter with its low grey skies, the scents and colours of embryonic spring are a welcome morale booster.
"These gardens will offer spectacular views over the coming months, as banks of delicate snowdrops, and armies of budding daffs, bluebells and tulips return."
The Scottish garden dubbed one of the best to visit in early spring
The garden in Scotland named one the best to visit in early spring was Attadale Gardens in Wester Ross.
The Guardian said: "Spring comes late in the Highlands. When these gardens open at Easter, daffodils, primroses and catkins are pale-gold harbingers of the bold candelabra primulas, irises, lilies and azaleas that will flower in the weeks that follow.
"Attadale won RHS Partner Garden of the Year for Scotland in 2023. The gardens are full of intriguing details: a spectacular tree fern in a sunken fern garden, bronze birds and animals, bridges, thickets of bamboo and, after the spring rains, seasonal waterfalls over mossy, creeper-covered cliffs.

"Tree-framed views from the garden include the jagged hills of Skye from a rocky outcrop up some stone steps at the end of the rhododendron walk, with some blooms from late March."
The price of admission for an adult is £10 and free for those under the age of 16. The garden is also open daily from March 28.
Other gardens were featured on the list with Dunham Massey in Greater Manchester and the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall being mentioned.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
