Moray town nicknamed the 'flower of Scotland' dubbed one of the 'loveliest' places with a floral display
The town of Forres in Moray, Scotland was named one of the "loveliest" locations with a floral display in the UK.
Discussing the spot, The Times said: "Nicknamed the “flower of Scotland” by residents, this north coast town has won a dizzying number of awards for its proliferation of floral displays, including Scotland in Bloom and Keep Scotland Beautiful, not to mention the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service for the teams who plant some 20,000 flowers each year.
"Go between June and September to see them: the heart of things is Grant Park, where you might see peacock, ladybird or butterfly-shaped creations alongside bright planters and hanging baskets decorating the high street, as well as beds around the neogothic St Laurence Church.
"Make a weekend of it with a visit to the 16th-century Brodie Castle and try a smoky dram at the Benromach Distillery (tours from £10; benromach.com) before checking in at the Victorian mansion Cluny Bank. The Moray Coast Trail also shows off 45 miles of ravishing scenery including windswept beaches and vast, rocky outcrops."
Forres was the only Scottish town named on the list, with the rest being located in England.
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!
