On Friday 24th July, we will be heading to two places, Innerpeffray Library and Drummond Castle Gardens
Innerpeffray Library
https://innerpeffraylibrary.co.uk/
Scotland’s first free public lending library founded in 1680 by Lord David Drummond, used by people from the local community until 1968. Today you can still read the rare books in its diverse collection and trace the families who took the time to cross the fields in pursuit of knowledge, education or just fun.
Drummond Castle Gardens
https://drummondcastlegardens.co.uk
This will be a self-guided tour of this 17th century Scottish Renaissance garden. It is a composite garden, restructured in early Victorian times and renewed again in the 20th century when the garden framework and the exceptional interest of the original 19th century design were carefully preserved.
