Country Life August 19 2015

published 19 August 2015

This week in Country Life we discover that the once-popular Scottie dog is now in trouble, we talk to four families who live in Scottish castles and find it isn't easy, we admire new art and old plants in the gardens at Dundonnell House, Wester Ross, we laud the Corinthian acanthus, we survey the Scottish estate market and we learn to cook with sweetcorn.
