Osgood Hanbury Mackenzie (1842-1922) was a Scottish landowner and the creator of a famous garden at Inverewe, near Poolewe in Wester Ross. In 1862, with the help of his mother he purchased the 12,000-acre estate of Inverewe and Kernsary. There he built a Scottish Baronial style mansion and set about creating a garden. Mackenzie concentrated first on establishing shelter belts of Native and Scandinavian pines and built a walled garden. He also created woodland walks. Within 40 years, he had established one of the finest collections in Scotland of temperate plants from both Northern and Southern hemispheres.
