Opening times:
Sunday: 12-4pm

Architect: (2011)

Information: The new allotment has 50 raised beds or plots, a communal fruit bed, seven hot houses, a wildflower meadow, and a communal area for workshops and open days. The beds have been constructed using top quality, sustainable Scottish larch, which has an estimated lifespan of over 20 years. Elsewhere, recycled timber has been used for the shelter area, which also has a green roof that collects rainwater, transferring it into recycled whisky barrels where 8000 litres can be used for irrigating the beds. Individuals, families, schools or community groups are able to apply for a plot and everything they grow in it will be for their own consumption.
