Hoskins showcases Highlands visitor centre

Hoskins Architects' visitors centre for Brodie Castle's 'Garden of Playfulness'

National Trust for Scotland project features nation’s largest rabbit sculpture

Hoskins Architects has completed a visitor centre for a Garden of Playfulness at Brodie Castle in the Highlands of Scotland.
