scenery in Scotland, part 4

If you saw Rob Roy, you may remember this scene. These are the gardens at Drummond Castle (with daughter and mother-in-law decorating the first landing on the way down). First laid out in the early 1600's, it was the scene (in the movie) where Montrose was posing for his portrait, Rob Roy came to renegotiate his loan, Montrose asked him to perjure himself against Argyle, and he escaped into the Highlands. These gardens are magnificent. Even on a drizzling September day without much sunlight, there's enough color to dazzle you.
