This is an exciting prospect, sent to me by Marilyn Hodsdon of Skibo Castle; Skibo are looking for a couple of European horticulture students who would like to travel to Scotland on a work placement this summer.
Skibo Castle is a private residential golf and sporting club, with an international membership and stands in its own seven thousand acre estate in the Highlands of Scotland.
The castle has extensive gardens and much of the produce is grown on the estate with the gardens being carefully and lovingly maintained by an energetic and innovative team headed by Graham Grant, Head Gardener.
Marilyn told me, "Skibo Castle offers a unique and special working environment in one of Scotland’s finest settings and we can provide an unforgettable experience between May and September for a horticultural student to work alongside our garden team helping them to professionally maintain the grounds which so often reflect the first impression to our esteemed visitors.
"The placement would also provide an opportunity for European students to improve their English and although unpaid, all meals and accommodation free of charge as well as workwear would be provided."
I might just shave and lie about my age and apply myself.
