"After the barren magnificence of Wester Ross, the gardens of Inverewe come as a surprise to the traveller.
"They were founded in 1862 by Osgood Mackenzie, owner of Inverewe estate. There was only rock and peat; soil for flower beds was carried in creels.
"Ninety years later, his daughter, Mrs. Mairi Sawyer, presented to the National Trust for Scotland, gardens which are a show place of the Highlands, where plants from all over the world fourish in the same latitude as Labrador.

Questions: Who designed the front of this really sweet bookmark? When does it date from?
