A rare opportunity to become an apprentice gardener at Brodick Castle and Country Park is up for grabs.
Arran has been chosen by the National Trust for Scotland as one of the sites of a new garden apprentice scheme to help nurture the next generation of talent to care for its 38 heritage gardens and designed landscapes.
With a worrying shortage of people with the right blend of skills and experience to care for its gardens, the trust decided to be proactive by piloting its own apprenticeship scheme.
