There is nothing quite like Autumn to showcase the diversity in tree species at Bowhill. Alongside mixed species planting over the last few centuries, sustainable woodland management also creates a varied age structure adding so much depth to the colour and landscape. From Beech, Birch and Oak to the Larch of Pernassie Hill, Autumn provides a warmth through colour that the creeping cold air cannot quite compete with. Although we are now out of our core season, many are still making the most of the now Annual Pass and enjoying a quiet stroll around the grounds.
What’s been going on at Bowhill this Autumn?
Halloween
As autumn set in, Bowhill’s Halloween event was brought to life. The event featured a thrilling trail, craft stations, and of course the pumpkin patch, with several sold-out days. The echoes of screams from the Ice House proved it was a Halloween to remember…
Ranger Tots
New this autumn at Bowhill are the Friday Morning Ranger Tots sessions, combining outdoor exploration with indoor soft play over a 6-week block. It’s also proving to be a wonderful opportunity for local mums to connect and enjoy a good chat over coffee…
Squirrels
Squirrels have been present in abundance at Bowhill, including a distinctive almost-black squirrel, and sightings of reds have been expanding across the estate. For the full success story and where to spot them next, read more…
It’s been such a busy time, this is only part one! Look forward to part two coming soon.
Coming up in December will be Part Two ….. The Scottish Countryside Ranger Service, SRUC visits, heritage education at Bowhill and of course Christmas Wreaths (there are still a few places left if you haven’t booked)
