With kind permission of Ceteris (Scotland), Alloa’s Gean House will open its gardens, on behalf of Scotland’s Gardens, on Tuesday 28 July from 2-5pm.
Gean House, on Tullibody Road, is an early 20th century Arts & Crafts style mansion.
On arrival the sweeping driveway from the main road takes you through beautiful parkland lined with trees to the mansion set on top of the hill facing north-east.
The gardens surrounding the house were originally 40 acres and included a Japanese garden in the woods. All that remains now are seven acres on the southern and eastern aspects of the house.
There will be cream teas in Gean House. Unfortunately there is no disabled access.
Admission cost £4, children are free. Of the monies realised, 40 per cent is going to Scottish Society for Autism and 60 per cent to Scotland’s Gardens charities.
