Botanical beauty

Article Abstract:

The name of David Douglas, the Scottish plant collector, is commemorated in the David Douglas Pavilion, a small but enchanting new building constructed almost entirely of Douglas fir in Scottish Plant Collectors Garden at Pitlochry. The peeled Douglas fir posts and the pitched roof of larch shingles blend perfectly with their surroundings, as does the interior.
