Drumin – Twinflower, a Tower House, and a Riverside Stroll
Tue, 18 June 2024 @ 18:00 - 20:30
An evening stroll along the Livet with an opportunity to search for the rare Twinflower and discuss it’s translocation programme. We will finish at the 14th Century Drumin Castle.
Join the Estate Ranger for an evening wander along the River Livet and a chance to spot riparian and woodland wildlife.
We will detour to see the rare and elusive Twinflower. Growing almost exclusively in the native Caledonian pine forests of Scotland, Twinflower has suffered as these magnificent forests have been lost. There was one remaining population on Glenlivet, and we have added it to this with a translocation project.
We will look at both sites and discuss the work we have done.
We will then finish up at the ruins of Drumin Castle, a tower house from the 14th century, where we can explore up to the first floor and look at the walled garden, which contains an orchard managed by the local Primary School.
