    Comments: It would be a disaster tantamount to desecration if the National Trust were to abandon this beautiful garden. The Trust must remember their role as trustees of our national treasures and protectors of our countryside, to say nothing of the damage to the local economy and tourism.

    Comments: It would be criminal to close such a beautiful long standing garden which brings spin off business to a rural area. The Garden was put to the National Trust for safe keeping!

    Comments: Arduaine Garden has a unique collection of plants with a display all the year round. It is one of the key tourist attractions in the Oban area.

    Name: Iain Bark on Mar 24, 2009

    Comments: The loss of Arduaine Garden is something that I hope can be avoided - it would be such a shame to lose public access to the variety of rhododendron species in the garden & one of the few local visitor attractions in the area.

    Comments: It would be a tragedy if these gardens were to close not only for the community but for the local tourist industry. There are so few gardens open to the public in Argyll. I feel so strongly about this that should this closure go ahead I will suspend my membership.

    Name: Ewan Kennedy on Mar 25, 2009

    Comments: The gardens were given to the National Trust to be held in trust for the nation and it is a horrid betrayal of that trust for them to be trashed now by the NTS, which is the inevitable result of closure. Please, NTS, save money wherever else in your organisation, but allow these gardens to survive.

    Comments: i am horrified but not surprised at the cavalier attitude of the NTS to the gardens. Perhaps if they pruned their office staff the money could be found to save what has been given to them in good faith.

    Comments: I have greatly enjoyed many visits to Arduaine Gardens over the years. It has always struck me as a beautiful spot and is in an area where organised and manned attractions are few and far between, and it would be a real loss to the scottish tourist industry.
