Belleisle Park , Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland, UK. The newly restored Greenhouse, Conservatory


The original Belleisle Conservatory was built in 1879 and replaced in 1955. In 2005, due to its poor structural condition the conservatory closed its doors. In 2010, an ambitious community group set up Belleisle Conservatory Ltd to transform a much loved but derelict B-listed conservatory back to its former glory. This group of volunteers applied for - and received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore the conservatory. The group also secured a 25 year lease from South Ayrshire Council.
