The only problem with the botanic gardens is that they close in October,I wish it opened all year.I will always remember my first view of the Redwood trees.

Oh yes, the redwood trees are magnificent I agree. I didn't realise it was closed in October - and we nearly went back there too!
How exciting to see, through your blog that the Highland games were called the Cowal Highland games. I could not remember what to call them. I loved seeing them, especially the marching bands. Do they still have the sheepdog trials there? The photo of the Benmore Gardens is just stunning!
