Abriachan Garden Nursery is a very special kind of place. It's probably what the tourist brochures…read morewould call a hidden gem. The garden nursery has a wide range of local plants that will grow in this climate and all are very cheap compared with the big garden centres. The secret to this garden nursery is the garden walks (with an honesty box for admission charges). I would never have imagined that this place existed on the banks of the loch. It is a fabulous garden on the side of the hill with lots of surprises around every turn (I won't spoil it by telling all the details). It is very steep however and you have to be reasonably fit to walk around. The climb is however well worth it when you see the views. Don't miss it the next time you are driving past.

We didn't want to give them an impersonal wad of cash, or something they had to pack and ship. As we knew they were both avid gardeners, I searched for "best plant nurseries in Scotland" and Abriachan popped right up to the top of the results list. Hamish there was very helpful and quickly responsive to my email inquiry requesting a gift certificate, and made it very easy to process and ensure that the certificates would be equally easy for our friends to pick up at the store. Thanks very much, Hamish and crew! And happy gardening from new friends in Oregon!

Great garden centre with cafe and outdoor organic food shop…read more The garden centre is well stocked and the staff are pretty knowledgable - they also do a fantastic Christmas display. The cafe is good, healthy, freshly cooked food. Plenty of tables although the eating area can sometimes be a bit cold (due to the excessively high ceiling).

The best part about Simpson's is the authentic Scottish Breakfast that is second to none in Inverness. Nothing like great food at a low price to make you want to garden and grow your own ingredients and flowers.
