Description

Late 18th-early 19th century. Very large walled garden, approximately 160m x 110m, with lean-to 3-bay (boarded door to centre, flanked by timber sash and case windows) potting sheds to outer face at N wall, (rubble, with slated roofs). Brick-lined rubble walls with flat ashlar coping.

Statement of Interest

The walled garden is shown in its present form on the above Estate Plan of 1810, densely planted, but it is not shown on the 1790 plan, where a smaller garden adjoining the steading to the E appears. The garden is currently in use as pasture and the potting sheds to the N are derelict. A Group with Melville Castle, Chestnut House, East Lodge, Esk Cottage, Garden Cottage, Garden Farmhouse, Walled Garden Lodge, South Driveway Bridge, South Lodge, Walled Garden Steading, and Willie's Temple.
