Argyll,
United Kingdom 
Elder / ground elder ?
Family have just moved into a new home, and we are tackling the garden.
I'm guessing pic 1 is Elderberry, but pics 2 and 3, I think are ground elder.
What I would like to know , is there a connection between Sambucus and ground elder? It's mighty suspicious that the majority of the ground elder is growing around the base of the large shrub.
This garden has so many weeds, I'm sure i'll be back asking lots more. ?

The tall plant with the white tassel like flowers is neither Elder not ground elder. It is possibly Aruncus dioicus. The plant in the second image is ground elder.
