This dram left us feeling calm and collected, meaning free of agitation and able to concentrate the mind on eliminating distractions – carpe diem. We conjured up childhood memories of entering a candy shop with its vintage glass jars in rows on dusty, wooden shelves making it so hard which to choose. We decided on two Scottish classics – caramel log wafers with roasted coconut, and milk chocolate tea cakes. On growing up with them you knew life was good.

With a tiny drop of water we moved into a Victorian greenhouse to admire all the exotic plants and, in particular, the graceful pink waterlilies effortlessly floating on the pond.
