Overview

Enormous herbaceous borders of unusual perennials, a stunning ornamental vegetable garden and a lake spanned by rose-clad wrought iron bridges are just a few of the features here, and the team work hard to ensure year-round interest. The focal point of the garden is the summer house on the lake, with the bridge and nearby willow tree creating a Japanese effect. There’s a snowdrop festival in February and colourful displays of tulips in May followed by roses in July, while the 2.5-acre Victorian walled garden always provides wonderful summer colour. The North American Prairie garden is home to hundreds of grasses and you can walk the shady woodland pathways down to the sea. There’s a gift shop and a tea room.

About the area

This 20-mile wide peninsula between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Tay is an ancient kingdom, once the home of Scotland’s kings and saints. Despite its modern bridges it still seems curiously detached from the rest of the country.
