Heyday of Inverewe is recalled in exhibition

The show at the Sawyer Art Gallery at Inverewe Garden at Poolewe will open tomorrow, Saturday, July 8 and run until August 10.

The exhibition, Treasures From the Archives: Inverewe's Untold Stories, uncovers fascinating insights into the life of garden creator Osgood Mackenzie and his daughter Mairi.

Property manager Kevin Frediani: "Our new exhibition has been developed from recent research into the family and has uncovered photographs, letters and postcards, game and sketch books which were left in Inverewe House when it was given to the National Trust for Scotland in 1953, and from other archives across the UK."

A new publication is being launched to coincide with the exhibition, entitled On Building Inverewe – Family and Homes 1860's to 1953.
