In 1944, Sir James Horlicks of the nighttime malt drink fame, bought the island and Achamore House and went about planting a rhododendron garden that still exists today. Around it, he gathered a forest of trees and plants from around the world. What better way to spend the last day on this wonderful island than by exploring the colourful gardens and exotic woodlands?

At the far end of Achamore Gardens are the ruins of the island’s first church at Kilchatten.
