Shambellie House grounds
The grounds of Shambellie House are beautiful all year
round.
The wooded grounds and garden that surround the historic house
are worth a visit in themselves. Explore the garden yourself or
take part in our nature trail to find out more about the trees and
plants, enjoy a picnic or even hire our croquet set (free of
charge) for a leisurely game on the lawn.
Willow Lady
Created by local artist Trevor Leat, the giant Willow Lady
stands on the terrace lawn in front of Shambellie House.
Made with a combination of dried and living willow, she erupts
with buds in the spring.
Scottish-based artist Trevor Leat is one of the foremost
creators of willow sculptures in the UK. His artwork has been seen
by tens of thousands of festival goers around the country, and his
sculptures have been spectacularly burnt at The Wickerman Festival,
The Edinburgh Hogmanay Celebrations and The Burns Light Festival in
Dumfries.
