Visited #DrummondCastle again this weekend, gardens looking glorious - shame about the rain.

Was pleased to see they’ve updated the brochure map to list the heritage #AppleTree varieties - very few have legible labels on the trees. There are two sets, mostly older trees against the walled garden wall, and mostly new plantings free standing lower down the slope.

They need to do their small #PearTree collection next..

1. Sunset
2. Lane’s Prince Albert
3. Laxton Superb
4. Howgate Wonder
5. James Grieve
