See the locations on Arisaig Walks Google Map

Larachmhor Garden Walk: A lovely walk through the wild woodland gardens of Làrach Mòr on the Arisaig Estate in the former kitchen gardens and nursery of Glen House. The gardens were developped as a woodland garden by John Augustus Holms in the 1920s to support an extensive collection of rhododendronspecies as well as exotic trees and shrubs. It's one of the West Coast gardens influenced by the Gulf stream. The garden occupies both banks of Allt na Làrach Mòr, which flows into Loch nan Eala. Read more and also here and this history.
