gardens & grounds

The Walled Garden dates back to 1890 and features one of the tallest stone walls in Perthshire set with the back drop of Marlee Loch and Sidlaw hills. Even in the depths of winter one can retreat to the walled garden and find the perfect seat to reflect.

Our small team of enthusiastic gardeners grow all the herbs and salads for the table and flowers for the house. Over the last year there has been a hive of activity as the garden has evolved from formal parterres to softer herbaceous beds and borders. Over five hundred and fifty five fragrant roses have been planted and once settled into their new abode will surely delight the senses. There is also a delightful millennium figure sculpted by Everard Meynell, decorated with symbols of mankind’s achievements over 2000 years.

Through out the year there is much to look forward to from carpets of snow drops, daffodils and bluebells in the spring to the majestic summer borders and the vibrant reds and golds of Autumn.
