Brilliant design and meticulous maintenance give Pitmedden Garden its unique charm.
Dating back to 1675 it was originally laid out by Sir Alexander Seton until the National Trust for Scotland re-created the garden in the 1950s.

With almost 6 miles of clipped hedging, sculptures, built heritage, and over 30,000 bedding plants, the parterres at the heart of the garden are a masterpiece of intricate patterns and fragrant flowers. It really is a delight for the senses.
