    South West...Scotland meet! 3rd of May

    Not sure what the forum coverage is like in this area, but is anyone up for a meet near Dumfries?

    Reason being the below garden is open only once a year...this year is on the 3rd of May from 12:00 (pm). I've been trying to get to this for a couple of years but never around when it is open until this time.

    http://www.scotlandsgardens.org/gard...c-999e00d2ac95

    Location is 5 miles north of Dumfries, up the A76, near Holywood. Just for reference the postcode is DG2 0RW but I've never tried this in sat nav.

    Some pictures of 'The Garden of Cosmic Speculation':











    Forgot to add, the garden is 6 quid entry fee.

    It's certainly a beautiful part of the country and as mentioned the garden is rarely open also. Would be nice to meet you, too!

    Nathan and Volvo meets don't go together sadly, and he also needs to be revising for his exams.
