Gardens in Scotland

Scottish-Gardens-P1

Discover the gardens of Scotland

Scottish gardens are often divided into two parts. In the "Formal Garden" the trees and shrubs are cut into shapes or a "Walled Garden" which is surrounded by high walls. The other much larger part of the "Estates" consists of beautiful old deciduous trees, isolated or as groups in the middle of rich, green, typical "English" lawn. Many beautiful gardens belong to private houses, which make their gardens accessible to the public only once a year. If you happen to be there at the right time and you have the opportunity to visit such a private garden, then you should not miss this opportunity.

Drummond Castle Gardens is one of Britain's most beautiful formal gardens, blending French and Italian influences.

Among others, a St. Andrew's Cross, in the middle of which stands a unique sundial from the 17th century. Enjoy the peace and variety of plants and flowers in this great garden. It's best to combine your stay with a visit to Drummond Castle and spend a great day dedicated to old lords and ladies.
