Scotland’s Gardens Scheme was founded in 1931 to raise money for the Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland, to help support the Queen’s Nurses, before the creation of the National Health Service.

The charity raises funds for hundreds of charities each year, powered by amazing teams of volunteers and garden owners around Scotland, through garden gate tickets, plants sales and teas.

A charming walled garden surrounded by mature woodland near to River South Esk. The garden has gravel paths with box hedges and pleached limes on arched frames. Consisting of herbaceous borders, a topiary area with a yew secret square, a pleached hornbeam area, and Japanese area with a bridge next to a giant Wellingtonia.

There is a fuchsia border outside the walls with a path and steps leading down to the river, where there is a thatched octagonal folly with bench seating and carved Latin inscriptions. A walk along the river bank brings you to the front of the house where some rowan trees give views of a stone obelisk.
