Where is this?

There is an area of SW Scotland so warmed by the gulf stream that palm trees can grow there, even despite the dismal and very non-tropical amount of sunlight of a Scottish winter.
At the south-western tip of Scotland lies Logan, the countrys most exotic garden. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, southern hemisphere plants flourish in this plantsmans paradise near Port Logan in Dumfries & Galloway.

the palm trees. They are everywhere.

(10,201 posts)3. We went everywhere over a two week period.
Our hub was Dublin, but every day we would see a different part of the country. We saw a huge chunk of the west side of the country. From Galway to Dingle to Cork.
