Orchard House

Come with us on a stroll to Scotland's Orchard House. The terrain is gentle and there's no need for a map – it's easy to find even for those who have never ventured this way before. ​

There's a sweet tang of strawberries in the air. The soft scent of pears and apples drifts by. Perhaps a hint of pineapple too? It's as if an entire summer's harvest is ripening at once, and you get the feeling the place would be just as alluring whatever the season. ​​

Can you see it just over that ridge up ahead? Be patient though, slow down, there's no rush. Better to pause a moment and take it all in. Yes, there's a lush fruitiness and citrus, but can you detect a creamy vanilla, and maybe a sprinkling of cinnamon too? ​

You see, journeys like these are much more rewarding when you really pay attention to your senses. Be curious, explore, and you'll discover so many more layers to the world around you.

How can somewhere like this exist? Such an abundant landscape can only have flourished by searching far and wide, hand-picking varieties from the very best stock, at the perfect time, and bringing them together to share with generosity.​​

But hold that thought because we've arrived at our home among the fruit trees, where everyone is welcome. The door open as always, the embers of a fire smouldering in the hearth and the farmhouse table filled with the gathered harvest. Inviting isn't it? So pull up a chair, grab a glass and let's raise a toast to celebrate this monument to fresh fruit, this dedication to deliciousness.
