DAVID'S MAGNIFICENT SEAT FROM TROPICAL HARDWOOD RAILWAY SLEEPERS
Situated between the A9 and the River Tummel, close to Pitlochry Dam is the tranquil haven that hosts Scotland’s Explorers Garden. Celebrating the work of the explorers, botanists and plant collectors that traveled to the four corners of the world in search of new and exciting species of plants, the results of which is reflected in the way our gardens look today. The garden is a fascinating mix of interpretation, exotic planting, architecture and art.
I was invited to come up with a design for a viewing point over other areas of the garden, across the River Tummel culminating in a view of the peak of Ben Vrackie standing high over Pitlochry – on a clear day! With the work being undertaken over the winter months, working conditions were at times ‘challenging’ – i.e. rain, mud, snow, ice, rain, mud etc. Despite these unpleasantries it was all in all a very pleasant job, beautiful location, an interested client and no problems that weren’t overcome. Attached are some pictures of the seating area I completed using your tropical hardwood sleepers.

A unique and dramatic 'throne' has been lovingly designed & crafted to overlook a stunning Highland garden, that celebrates some of the world’s most successful plant hunters and their contribution to the way our gardens look today. A stunning work of art painstakingly sculptured from railway sleepers.
