[Ascog Fernery] |
Ferns aren't typically considered the prettiest of plants. But this secret, sunken fernery feels a bit like another world, originally built in 1870 but redeveloped from ruins in 1997. The centrepiece is a 1,000+ year old fern, somehow a survivor from the Victorian collection and probably the oldest in the UK. The small fernery is just one part of three acres of beautiful gardens surrounding Ascog Hall, set in a peaceful spot on Bute's eastern shore between Rothesay and Mount Stuart.
