The owners of Inveraray Castle in Argyll and Bute were left shocked by an amazing pattern on the property's lawns, and said they had never seen it before.
It was part of the designed landscape of Argyll Estates and Inveraray and was found in archives as far back as 1871.Owner Torquhil Argyll, 55, first saw the design about a week ago.
