The walled garden and its associated buildings at Hallyburton are key elements of the estate and make a significant contribution to the surviving group of estate buildings. Typically for the period the garden is sited some distance from the house and was formerly much larger with another garden area to the NW of the cottages. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows a summer house to the N end of that NW garden, and names the area as Woodside of Hallyburton. By 1894 the area is known as Hallyburton Gardens, and there is a sundial located close to the summer house. This is probably the sundial (listed separately) which is now (2010) located in the sunken garden at the SE front of Hallyburton House.

The 2-storey structure resembles a pavilion located in a corner of the walled garden at Earlshall in Fife. However, the building at Hallyburton appears to be more functional in the nature of an apple store and may have been a simple single storey store raised to provide increased storage or work space.

Hallyburton's original 1680 house was built for the Hallyburton's of nearby Pitcur. The large estate was purchased by Graham Menzies from the Marquis of Huntly in 1879 for the sum of £235,000. Graham Menzies, founder of the Distillers Company, passed the estate to his son W G Graham Menzies in 1890. Gordon W Menzies commissioned the 1903 Lorimer work, and Hallyburton remains in the same family today.
