The feature which attracts most people to this property is the formal walled garden originally laid out in 1675 by Sir Alexander Seton. The National Trust for Scotland set about re-creating the gardens following designs dating from the 17th century in the 1950's and today there are over 5 miles of box hedging arranged in intricate patterns to form six parterres.
Each is filled with around 40,000 plants which burst with colour during the summer months. There are also extensive herbaceous borders and a fascinating herb garden... a great source of inspiration for gardeners. Often there are plants for sale. Around the high walls are planted over 80 varieties of apple trees with the fruit available for sale at harvest time. A 1.5 mile woodland walk is well worth a visit and a picnic area provides an ideal spot for lunch. The Museum of Farming Life within the grounds has an extensive collection of domestic and agricultural implements from a bygone era. Within the house there is the gift shop and tea-room.
