Periwinkle Den. The Jig-saws by Charles Thomson.

Periwinke Den.

Introduction.

Periwinkle Den is situated in the heart of Dunnottar Woods, roughly 1 mile from the Market Square in Stonehaven.
A walk through the paths of Dunnottar Woods is a rewarding experience in itself.
The recently re-decorated shell hoose is here, reflecting its beauty into the small pool at its front door.
Situated just above the shell hoose is Dunnottar Gardens, surrounded by a huge old red brick wall, still standing as proud as the day it was built.
A ponder through the gardens is well worth it, where you will meet Mr. Jolly tending to his much loved plants.
Across the road from here you will find yourself on another path. After a few hundred yards, to the right of you is Gallows Hill, another famous Stonehaven landmark.
Here I would recommend a sit on the bench at the foot of The Hill to soak up the sheer beauty of the place.
If you are feeling energetic enough, you can climb the path to the top of Gallows Hill and find the Ice House and imagine how a wealthy Victorian family lived.
Continuing along the path at the side of the burn you will find yourself in the enchanted Periwinkle Den itself. Yes it’s really here!
Clumps of daffodils swing before your eyes, birds sing from the branches of every tree. The pool of Dreams is here waiting for you to unfold, and in return reward you with the gift of nature, the tree is here that holds up the sky, as is The Queen of Trees herself.

Welcome then to Periwinkle Den the home of The Jigsaws.
