Giant Monkey Puzzle Tree
Me, and a giant monkey puzzle tree, growing in this almost tropical climate

The grounds are the real attraction at Armadale, and the enormous variety of trees and tropical plants is amazing. Despite the northern latitude, the Isle of Skye has a warm, almost tropical rain-forest climate. It's really weird, especially after spending a week in the bleak and windy highlands, where little grows but heather and scrub. That's me, quite tiny, near a huge evergreen tree by the castle.
